Healthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks
is a Partnership working towards a healthier Dare County. Coordinated by the Dare County Department of Public Health, the partnership has input and representation from over 20 local organizations and agencies. The Healthy Carolinians process supports our community in mobilizing people and resources to address community health challenges.
Over the past ten years, 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.
