As part of its evaluation of health and environmental services provided by state government, SHaPE SC sought feedback from the public on how our state could help shape a better future for the health of the public and the environment in South Carolina.

Members of the public were asked to submit comments between June 2021 and Sept 2021. Individuals and other stakeholder groups could submit their comments through email or by an anonymous, online survey. South Carolinians interested in providing feedback were asked to provide constructive input on three questions:

1. How is our state doing now when it comes to delivering health and environmental services?
2. What are our state's greatest challenges to delivering effective, efficient, and accessible health and environmental services in the future?
3. If you could improve one to three things about our state's health and environmental services, what would they be and how do you recommend they be implemented to best serve our residents?

More than 400 comments were received. Comments submitted by the public are available below, and include comments from the general public, agency staff, task force members, and others.
