The Administrator of Community Living Integration provides statewide leadership for DPH policies, programs, and initiatives supporting people with disabilities and others who rely on state-funded services. This position leads cross-agency collaboration, guides program and policy development, and drives measurable progress in community-based care, person-centered service delivery, and compliance with the Olmstead decision and related federal and state requirements.
The Administrator of Community Living Integration plays a critical role in advancing South Carolina's commitment to ensuring that individuals with disabilities have access to community-based services and supports, promoting independence, self-determination, and full participation in community life.
