Interim HealthCare Expands in South Carolina

SUNRISE, Florida—Interim HealthCare Inc., a provider of home health and staffing services, announced an expansion in South Carolina, backed by Gary Cooper, a longtime South Carolina health care entrepreneur and co-founder of Palmetto Infusion Services. Alongside his son and business partner, Clemons Cooper, they will oversee operations across Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Florence, Kershaw, Lee, Marlboro, Sumter and Williamsburg counties.

The new franchise is expected to open in the Spring of 2026.

“We are thrilled to welcome Gary and Clemons into the Interim HealthCare family,” said Rexanne Domico, president and CEO of Interim. “Their passion for local service embodies the type of franchise owner we seek as we continue expanding our network. Attracting mission-driven, community-focused leaders like the Coopers will accelerate our ability to meet the growing demand for quality home-based care across the country.”

Gary has dedicated more than 25 years of service and leadership to the health care industry as an entrepreneur across several different businesses spanning home health care, hospice, private duty nursing, home infusion and ambulatory infusion clinics.

“My career has always centered on a deep commitment to community-level impact, whether through the individuals we serve or those we employ,” said Gary Cooper. “I can’t think of a better way to extend this legacy than by joining Interim HealthCare’s storied franchise business, which I’m looking forward to being part of alongside my son.”

The new Florence-area franchise will expand access to home health, personal care and support and health care staffing services at a time when demand across South Carolina and the United States continues to grow rapidly.
