South Carolina Food Insecurity Risk Map
The South Carolina Food Insecurity Risk Map was developed on behalf of Food is Medicine South Carolina (FiMSC) by Openfields and Furman University’s Institute for the Advancement of Community Health (IACH) and funded by South Carolina SNAP-Ed. It is designed to serve as a planning tool for stakeholders to proactively address food insecurity in their communities by visualizing food insecurity risk (left map) side-by-side with relevant health outcome, demographic, and community resource data (right map).

The ROI Calculator
In addition to its primary function of estimating returns, the calculator creates an awareness of some of the opportunity and benefits of health and social care integration for both healthcare and community partners. It provides a common financial language, promotes a more equitable and sustainable division of returns, drives data collection and analysis for the business case, reduces uncertainty by helping to quantify financial risk, and supports a structured approach for partnership development.

The 3×3 Matrix
Developed by Dr. Rishi Manchanda, founder of HealthBegins, the Upstream Strategy Compass is a tool commonly called the “3×3 Matrix.” This tool provides a wealth of information at a glance, with three columns addressing individual, community, and societal levels of action, and three rows labeled primary, secondary, and tertiary to describe levels of prevention.
