The South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) is a South Carolina cabinet agency which coordinates disease control, supports healthy nutrition, responds to natural disasters, provides research and statistics on the state's health and environment.

History

The department was created in 2024 when the South Carolina General Assembly split the former South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) into two new departments: DPH and the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services.
