All residents are inivted to the Health Forums.

We will also be talking about play deserts to inform the two KaBOOM! playgrounds coming to Beaufort County later this year.

If you care about the health of people in your family and community, this forum is for YOU. Youth are also welcome.

The Trust is a statewide private foundation focused on improving the quality of life and quality of health for individuals across North Carolina. Last year, we announced Healthy Places NC, a long-term initiative to improve the health and overall quality of life for people in rural areas of North Carolina, and Beaufort County is one of the first three counties we have invitated to participate. We plan to invest $100 million over 10 years in 10 to 15 rural North Carolina counties. As part of our Healthy Places NC work, we are partnering with experts from the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a national program, to explore and understand Beautfort County’s health ranking.

We want to work with community members for the long-term to understand local challenges, improve the overall health of the area and promote active living and healthy eating. Come to the forum to learn more and share your ideas.
