Clinton residents have access to a range of healthcare services across Laurens, from hospital-based acute care to community health centers offering sliding-scale and Medicaid-accepted services.

The healthcare landscape across the Upstate region is shaped by SC public health priorities, Effective July 1, 2024, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) was divided into two separate cabinet agencies under Act 60 (formerly Senate Bill 399): the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH, dph.sc.gov), which assumed all public health and healthcare quality programs, and the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES, des.sc.gov), which assumed all environmental programs. DHEC's retail food program and milk and dairy lab transferred to the SC Department of Agriculture. The former DHEC Board was abolished.. SC Department of Public Health and partner agencies oversee healthcare facility licensing, immunization programs, and environmental health for Clinton and Laurens.
