The UNC Gillings School of Public Health and the Halifax County Public Health System Monday hosted their World Café at the Center for Energy Education with various community advocates.
By design, the World Café component is used to identify areas of public health the collaboration should focus on as it makes strides with its pilot hub.
Halifax is one of four counties chosen to move forward with recent UNC initiatives to integrate students and resources within communities in North Carolina.

The UNC Community Hub will be housed at the Halifax County Public Health System and run by the Community Hub coordinator.
Once filled, the Community Hub coordinator will be establishing a series of practicum and internship opportunities to move the work of public health forward in Halifax County through partnering agencies and community work.
We are excited to foster this opportunity for collaboration to strengthen the work being done and bring innovative ideas to address community health needs at various levels.
