About Charleston
We are pleased to be hosting the 22nd Annual Conference on Hypertension, Diabetes and Dyslipidemia in Charleston, South Carolina, a city full of history, mystery, romance, and southern charm. It is a world of tradition, where the past is kept alive in beautiful detail. Charleston is a place where you can delight in the city’s quaint, gas-lit cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and historic antebellum homes.
Charleston has been ranked a top U.S. destination for the past 15 years and once you visit the city you will see why. Whether you want to see historic homes, cemeteries or impressive natural vistas, you will find a dazzling array of interesting tours to suit your style, from walking and bike tours to carriage and motorized tours. Known as the Holy City, Charleston is home to numerous historic houses of worship. With the earliest church dating from the early eighteenth century, this city provides impressive examples of stunning architecture and visitors are invited to join intriguing tours of these magnificent buildings. Charleston is also considered one of the top culinary cities in the U.S. and is considered the new food capital of the South.
