Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center will officially cut the ribbon on the area's newest pharmacy in Colerain on August 17.
The new pharmacy, which is located adjacent to Coelrain Primary Care, fills a vital need for the Bertie County community.
Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center is joining other health centers and the North Carolina Community Health Center Association in supporting a bill that will positively impact the area's uninsured working poor. House Bill 662, Carolina Cares, is a common-sense conservative approach to covering the uninsured. This bill, introduced by Representatives Lambeth, Murphy, Dobson, and White empowers patients to access affordable, high quality, and innovative primary and preventive care.
The Rocky Hock Lions Club has taken up the cause of helping Kecia Phelps get a lifesaving kidney transplant.
Phelps, who works at the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library and previously waited tables at the Nothin' Fancy Cafe and Market, found out about a year and a half ago that her kidneys were not functioning. A biopsy was performed and she learned that she has a rare form of kidney disease in which the kidneys' follicles have died.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center, Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center's mission is not only to affect positive health outcomes for patients, but also positive change in the community. That community focus is represented in the Literacy Initiative, formed to promote increased literacy for all ages in RCCHC's service area of Hertford, Bertie, Gates, Northampton and Washington counties. The Literacy Initiative has so far been responsible for projects like implementing the Reach Out and Read program, which provides children ages 6 months to 5 years with a free book during their yearly wellness check at RCCHC; establishing Little Free Libraries, built by local Eagle Scout Daniel Lane, in its Ahoskie, Murfreesboro and Colerain clinics, as well as hosting story hours and children's activities with Everest and Gigi the Therapy Reading Dogs.
