The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will host an online town hall on Thursday to talk about rural healthcare.
Officials say more than 4.6 million North Carolinians — slightly less than half of the state’s population — live in rural areas and often face challenges related to access to health care, housing, food, transportation, educational resources, internet and more.
Thursday’s town hall starts at 6 p.m.
It will stream live from the NCDHHS Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts.
