Our well-being and longevity initiative, Thriveobx, is proud to have created Nourish Guidelines for everyone to enjoy. The guidelines, created by our registered dietitian and Center for Healthy Living providers, align with The American College of Lifestyle Medicine and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. OBH's Center for Healthy Living specializes in helping you achieve your health and well-being goals, including through diet and nutrition. Visit https://www.outerbankshealth.org/services/the-center-for-healthy-living/ to learn more.

Food is energy, connection and nourishment, and when chosen with intention, it supports well-being and longevity from the inside out. The ThriveOBX approach is all about adding more of what fuels you. Here’s a guide to help you bring more nourishment into your day.

A new horizon is unfolding as 2026 begins! Outer Banks Health has purchased the five-acre property that once housed Kelly’s Restaurant and Tavern in Nags Head, one of the largest remaining parcels on the Outer Banks. This strategic acquisition supports OBH’s long-term vision and master facility plan, now in its early stages of development, by securing an opportunity to expand access to healthcare and support growth that strengthens our community. Here’s to securing a healthier future, together!
