20 Mar Carteret Links Third Installment

Third Installment in “Carteret Links” Lecture Series

Morehead City, N.C. (March 20, 2023) – On March 22, 2023, the third installment of the Carteret Links health education lecture series will focus on vaping and associated health risks. The lecture is open to the community and will take place in-person from 6 – 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at East Carteret High School, with remote participation available at Carteret Community College, Croatan High School, and The Bridge Downeast on Harkers Island. Adults and children are encouraged to attend this presentation hosted by the County Health Department education division.

Carteret Links is a new initiative offered by Carteret Community College, in partnership with the Carteret County Health and Human Services Department to bring lectures presented by local experts on health-related topics that are pertinent to community members of Carteret County.

Lectures are offered synchronously throughout the county at various remote learning classrooms that have been equipped with funds received by a grant from the US Department of Agriculture. Speakers will present at one location while audiences seated in classrooms around the county participate in real-time from a location conveniently located near their homes. This series will spread crucial community health education to communities that may not otherwise have easy access to such presentations.

The 2023 spring series will conclude with a presentation on Managing Blood Pressure with Camella Marcom on April 18. This presentation will be offered in-person at The Bridge Downeast and in real-time remote classrooms at Carteret Community College, Harlowe Community Center, Western Carteret Library, and Fort Benjamin Park.

Carteret Links lectures are free, open to the public, and specially curated for Carteret County residents. For more details on classroom locations, speaker credentials, and upcoming lectures please visit www.carteret.edu/carteret-links.
