History
Fetter Health Care Network, formerly known as the Franklin C. Fetter Family Health Center, was established in 1967 under the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) as a demonstration project initially funded by the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity. It was established to provide a full range of health care services to Charleston's low-income community. It later became a Community Health Center under Public Law 9564, Section 330, of the Federal Regulation. Fetter is the oldest federally-qualified health center in SC. In 1975, Fetter was registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in the state of South Carolina. In 2017, it celebrated 50 years of serving the Lowcountry.
