Select Health of South Carolina Participates in Principal for a Day Program

CHARLESTON, SC – Executives from Select Health of South Carolina have participated in the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce Principal for a Day program since 2011. On March 5 of this year, Rebecca Engelman, market president at Select Health, and Fred Hill, M.D., chief medical officer at Select Health and chief regional medical officer at AmeriHealth Caritas, volunteered their time to learn about the day-to-day operations of a school and offer business world perspectives to the challenges faced by principals.

Engelman shadowed Principal Sherry Peterson at Murray-LaSaine Elementary School on James Island and Dr. Hill shadowed Principal Marty French at the Daniel Island School, where they visited classrooms, read to children and met with school leaders.
