The Self Regional Healthcare Foundation recently hosted another successful Medically Speaking program, welcoming a strong turnout of community members, students, and hospital staff for an engaging evening focused on heart health.

The event featured a town hall–style discussion led by Rollo Villareal, M.D. and Efehi Igbinomwanhia, M.D., cardiologists with Advanced Cardiology Associates, who shared insight into heart rhythm health and answered audience questions in an approachable setting. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Matt Logan, President of Self Regional Healthcare, and encouraged meaningful dialogue around prevention, treatment options, and overall wellness.

Following the program, guests gathered for a reception, continuing conversations sparked during the discussion.

The Foundation extends sincere thanks to its partners at Lander University and the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, as well as the physicians, moderators, volunteers, and staff who worked together to make the evening a success.

The Medically Speaking Series, led by the Foundation’s Business and Industry Committee, is designed to bring trusted medical information into the community and strengthen connections between healthcare professionals and the people they serve.

Greenwood, SC — The Self Regional Healthcare Foundation is pleased to formally invite guests, supporters, and friends from across the region and beyond to the 38th Annual Mid-Winter Ball, to be held on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Chandler Center at Lander University. This year’s theme, A Mediterranean Soiree, promises an evening of elegance, celebration, and community impact in support of women’s health across our region.

“This is more than a Ball — it’s an evening that directly contributes to saving lives,” said Chelsea Castellone, Co-Chair. “We’re honored to help lead an event that brings our community together for a cause that truly matters.”

Chair Davis Renee Migdalas added, “The funds raised will support technology that ensures women across our region have access to advanced breast cancer screenings, regardless of location or financial barrier. That’s something every family in our community can feel proud to support.”

A central focus of the evening will be raising funds to assist in the purchase of a new, 3-D Mobile Mammography vehicle, which will provide early-detection breast cancer screenings throughout the Lakelands region. “One in eight women will face a breast cancer diagnosis,” said Ken Coffey, Executive Director of the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation. “This mobile 3-D mammography unit will truly be lifesaving. We are deeply grateful for every sponsor, donor, and attendee who helps turn this project into reality.”

The evening will feature live music by PUNCH BAND, a gala buffet, a silent auction, an open bar, and a refined black-tie atmosphere complemented by a bourbon and wine tent, creating an unforgettable night of philanthropy and enjoyment.

Guests are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Early Bird pricing, which is available only through December 31st. After this date, seat pricing will increase.

Guests are reminded that this year’s Ball is ticketless, with all seating reserved and noted upon arrival.

Self Regional Healthcare Foundation Receives $13,375 from Paint McCormick Pink Breast Cancer Walk

The McCormick community once again showed its tremendous spirit and generosity during this year’s Paint McCormick Pink Breast Cancer Walk, held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, in downtown McCormick.

Now in its third year, the event continues to grow in both participation and impact. Organized by the McCormick-Edgefield Breast Cancer Committee, Paint McCormick Pink brings residents, visitors, and local businesses together each October to raise awareness and funds in support of breast cancer patients and survivors.

This year’s event raised an impressive $13,375 for the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation’s Cancer Fund, which supports local cancer patients receiving care through Self Regional Healthcare’s Cancer Center. The check presentation took place recently at the Cancer Center in Greenwood, where members of the committee presented the donation to representatives from the Foundation and Self Regional Healthcare’s oncology team.

Participants filled the streets of downtown McCormick in pink attire, walking together in a visible show of solidarity and hope. The event featured music, vendors, and community fellowship, all centered around honoring survivors and remembering those affected by breast cancer.

Ken Coffey, Executive Director of the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation, expressed his gratitude for the group’s continued partnership: “The McCormick-Edgefield Breast Cancer Committee has created something truly special with Paint McCormick Pink. Their dedication not only raises essential funds but also builds awareness and brings our communities together in the fight against cancer.”

As the event continues to grow, the committee remains committed to its mission of promoting early detection, education, and community support for breast cancer awareness across the Lakelands region.
