On December 1, 2016, the Office of Public Health Statistics and Information Services hosted the 2016 DHEC Health Data Symposium. The purpose of the event was to share information on some of DHEC's available health data sources. Attendees from the department, colleges and universities, as well as non-profits and community organizations participated. This was the first of what is planned to be an annual event.
