4th annual HEARTest Yard Celebrity Golf Classic
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (WCBD) – The HEARTest Yard Foundation was established in 2013 after Greg and Kara Olsen's son TJ was born with congenital heart disease. The Olsen's have used their platform to help other families dealing with some of the same challenges. 'Year in and year out the support that we get, the amount of people that fly in from all over the country to come to this event just speaks about their commitment to our cause. Their commitment to our heart families and for that we're very grateful,' said former Carolina Panthers Tight End Greg Olsen. Now in its fourth year, the second time at Kiawah, Greg hosted former teammates. other athletes and celebs for the HEARTest Yard Celebrity Golf Classic. Olsen helped lead block for running back Jonathan Stewart with the Cats. J-Stew in awe of how Greg leads his family and others in the Carolina's. 'HIm and his wife, the way they give, give, give with no expectation of getting anything back in return is the way everyone else should be,' Stewart said. The HEARTest Yard offers a lot of resources including a clinic in Charlotte that will see 50 to 60,000 patients a year. Here in Charleston, at MUSC's Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital, doctors perform 500 surgery's a year on children born with heart defects. 'There are now more people living with congenital heart disease that are adults than children. Which marks the fact that weve done a really great job. And it's fundraising events like this that have really made a difference,' siad Andy Atz, the chair of the dept. of pediatrics at MUSC. Greg Olsen was a difference maker for the Panthers at the tight end position, his thousand yard seasons and trips to the Pro Bowl speak for themselves. But the work his family has done to help others resonates a little louder. 'The families that we meet, the impact that we're able to make through the Heartest Yard and through our work both up in Charlotte in North Carolina, and obviously here for the last couple of years in South Carolina,' said Olsen. 'Hopefully this is what everyone remembers and really appreciates because it's something we truly love and its something we great pride in we're thankful we get the opportunity to do it.' Monday's golf event will raise between $300,000-$400,000 with all the proceeds staying right here in the Lowcountry. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Clemson University to contract with MUSC Health for new student health center
Clemson University wants to contract with the Medical University of South Carolina hospital system for a new student health center on campus. (File photo by Getty Images) Clemson University wants to contract with the Medical University of South Carolina hospital system to build and run a new student health center on campus. A legislative oversight committee gave the initial nod Tuesday to the $73 million project, which the Upstate college says will help hold down student health care costs and replace its aging facility. The project still needs approval next week from a five-member financial oversight panel chaired by the governor. It could mark MUSC's second such arrangement at a South Carolina college and the first outside of Charleston. The proposal is modeled after MUSC's relationship at The Citadel, according to documents provided to the Joint Bond Review Committee. Clemson's existing Redfern Health Center is 56 years old, built when the university had a student population of just 6,700. Since then, Clemson's enrollment has increased four-fold, yet the college has not expanded or renovated the center since it was constructed. Plans call for the Medical University Hospital Authority to spend $61 million to help build the new, 90,000-square-foot center, with Clemson chipping in $3 million, and a pair of federal grants covering the remainder. If Clemson were to pursue the project alone, it would have to pass the cost on to students, the school wrote in its proposal. Instead, Clemson will simply turn over to MUSC the existing health fees charged to students when they enroll. As part of the deal, that fee will stay flat for the first five years of operation, potentially saving students more money on health care. According to Clemson, student health care costs have been escalating since the COVID-19 pandemic at an average rate of 6% per year. Students currently pay $182 per semester. There will be an additional $66 fee for any students who stay on campus for the summer session. That fee covers the cost of doctor's visits, counseling, and telemedicine urgent care, according to Clemson's health services website. It does not cover prescriptions, vaccinations, lab tests, X-rays, psychiatric treatment, gynecological exams, routine physical exams or procedures, such as stitches. MUSC will bill students for those additional services 'in a manner that does not burden Clemson students or their families but is expected to generate additional revenue,' according to documents provided by the two organizations. Students who are on their parents' insurance policy can continue to use that coverage. MUSC will bill the insurance company. 'All students will continue to have access to student healthcare regardless of their financial status,' according to a joint letter from MUSC and Clemson. It will also bring an end to Clemson's current, 'archaic' billing model for health services, which withholds diplomas and prevents students from enrolling in classes if they have an outstanding medical bill. A Clemson spokesman did not immediately respond to questions from the SC Daily Gazette about that policy. MUSC will reinvest any excess revenue back into Clemson Health. The school and the hospital system expect to sign the 30-year deal in January 2026 and complete construction in July 2027. At the end of the lease term, MUSC will transfer ownership of the facility to Clemson. In addition to health care for students, Clemson and MUSC also plan to work together on more health-related research projects, as well as joint degree programs.

Former MUSC pediatrician announces campaign to oust Lindsey Graham
Annie Andrews, a Mount Pleasant pediatrician, announced she will be running against Lindsey Graham on Thursday, May 29, 2025. (Photo courtesy of Andrews campaign) A Lowcountry pediatrician is again running for a spot on Capitol Hill, this time aiming for the U.S. Senate seat held by Lindsey Graham, she announced Thursday. Annie Andrews, who spent 15 years at the Medical University of South Carolina and attempted in 2022 to oust U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, is the second Democrat to announce a bid to topple Graham next year. 'I believe in South Carolina. I believe in the kids and families that I've served for years, and I'm not afraid to take on the people who've sold them out, and I'm starting with Lindsey Graham,' Andrews told the SC Daily Gazette ahead of her announcement. Andrews touted her medical experience during her 2022 run and will do so again amid debate in Washington over Republicans' efforts to slash spending in President Donald Trump's second term. An overhaul of Medicaid in the massive bill passed by the U.S. House last week by a single vote would cut spending on the government-run health insurance program by a projected $625 billion over a decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. 'I am watching in real time as our health care system is being completely dismantled by conspiracy theorists and drifters who have no business being anywhere near our public health system,' Andrews said. 'I've seen both Republicans and Democrats watch and treat this as normal politics, which is not what this is at all.' Andrews first ventured into politics for the 2022 election, hoping to flip the coastal 1st District blue again after Mace brought it back to the GOP in 2020, defeating one-term Democrat Joe Cunningham. But Andrews lost by nearly 14 percentage points as Mace swept every county in the district in the first election following the Legislature's decennial redrawing of congressional voting lines. In a split ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld those lines last year. In September 2022, weeks before voters cast their ballot, Andrews took a leave of absence from her role at MUSC due to political attacks during the election. The following June, less than two months after announcing the creation of a political action committee dedicated to supporting children, Andrews announced her departure from MUSC. Andrews lives in Mount Pleasant but works part time at Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. And she's active on social media, accruing more than 100,000 followers across Instagram and X, formerly Twitter. However, that pales in comparison to Graham's 2.2 million followers on X alone, with another 164,000 on Instagram. Taking on Graham, a fundraising juggernaut with $15.9 million in his campaign account, according to his latest FEC filings and Trump's endorsement, will be no easy task for any Democrat in a state in its biggest red wave in four decades. But Andrews says it's possible. Despite being the Senate Budget Committee chairman and one of the GOP's most visible faces, he remains divisive. In Andrews' eyes, that makes him vulnerable. 'Republicans are just as fed up with the corruption in career politicians like Lindsey Graham in Washington D.C. as Democrats are,' she said. Mark Lynch, a Greenville businessman who invested $5 million of his own money into his campaign as of the end of March, is Graham's lone Republican primary challenger so far. It's likely that more Republicans will jump into the race. Graham usually draws multiple challengers in elections. Upstate Democrat announces bid to unseat Lindsey Graham Graham's re-election campaign is co-chaired by Gov. Henry McMaster and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott. Before she gets to Graham, Andrews will have to defeat Lee Johnson, a Greenville engineer, for the Democratic nomination. In a statement, Johnson said he welcomes anybody to the race and wants to find the best candidate to defeat Graham. 'My focus remains squarely on the mission: retiring Lindsey Graham with someone who shows up, listens, and delivers for all of South Carolina,' the statement said. When asked why she should be the Democratic nominee, Andrews said, 'I'm a doctor. I'm a mom. I'm not a career politician. I've been serving kids and families in South Carolina from every corner of South Carolina for 15 years, and I'm in this fight for those kids and families.'
