Immunization Policy

As medical professionals, one of the most important services we provide to our patients are immunizations that protect against vaccine preventable diseases. We firmly believe in the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and require that all HH Pediatric patients receive the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and the ACIP (Advisory Council on Immunization Practices).

COVID-19 Vaccines

Patients due for Covid booster doses are encouraged to contact or visit a local community partner (https://vaxlocator.dhec.sc.gov/) for vaccination.

Guardian Policy

Patients under the age of 16 must have a parent or legal guardian present at appointments. If you are a patient or parent/caregiver and have questions about this, please call our office at 843-432-3700.

Quality Through Technology and Innovation in Pediatrics

According to the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, “the Quality through Technology and Innovation in Pediatrics (QTIP) program works to improve health care for children in South Carolina by working on quality measures and incorporating mental health into a medical home. Started in 2010 under a CHIPRA federal grant, this program brings practices together to collaborate on specific measures and foster quality improvement projects at each practice site.”

Goals of the QTIP Program:

• Improve children’s quality care measures
• Improve child care through peer-to-peer measures amongst other pediatricians
• Focus on the mental well-being of children
• Integrate the patient-centered medical home model of care (PCMH).
