Huger

Purpose:

The College of Nursing, in collaboration with East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO), opened the Baldwin Carson Community Outreach Center (BCCOC) in September 2015 offering a range of ECCO programming including medical care, health education and screenings with medical referrals by a nurse practitioner.
