North Carolina's Health Disparities
In North Carolina, disparities in health and wellness continue to affect many communities. The state ranks among the highest in the nation for chronic illnesses, and access to healthcare remains a critical issue, particularly in rural areas. Many communities lack sufficient access to health resources, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these inequities. This reality underscores the importance of integrating wellness initiatives that utilize the arts to promote health and community cohesion.
