Hillary Clinton announced her plan for health care coverage on Monday in Des Moines.

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) — Building off Sen. Hillary Clinton's much publicized health care plan announced this week, Clinton's South Carolina campaign Tuesday announced a committee dedicated to promoting her "American Health Choices Plan" in this early primary state.

The "South Carolina Health Care Professionals for Hillary" will meet at a hospital in Columbia tomorrow to promote Clinton's plan.

The nine-member committee, made up of working and retired health care professionals, is notably all-female.

The group is one of several "For Hillary" committees launched by the campaign here. Just ten days ago, the Clinton campaign also launched "South Carolina Seniors for Hillary Steering Committee," which also named health care as a priority issue for South Carolina.
