MenuHealthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks
One of the essential functions of the HCOB Partnership is overseeing the Community Health Assessment process every three years. The partnership participates in the gathering and analysis of primary and secondary data. Once the data is reviewed HCOB prioritizes the identified health opportunities and forms task forces to address concerns as needed.
Since 2002, Healthy Carolinians Task Forces have played a significant role in bringing many new resources and organizations to Dare County. Some of these include the Community Care Clinic of Dare – a free healthcare clinic for under and uninsured individuals; Dare CASA (Coalition Against Substance Abuse); Dare Respite Care – pairing trained volunteers with family caregivers in order to provide a brief break or respite from the demands of care giving responsibilities, and; NC MOM (Missions of Mercy) – a two day dental clinic providing free dental care to under and un-insured individuals, to name just a few.
Get involved and help make a positive difference in our community.
