MedNorth Health Center

MedNorth had its first Community Baby Shower Event!

The past week we celebrated the knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes our prenatal patients gained during our Childbirth Education Class Series (CBE).

The CBE classes help prepare mothers and their families for pregnancy, labor, and delivery. We are so happy that the mothers had a positive learning experience and environment with the recent series and baby shower.

We want to thank MedNorth's Women's Health Team, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who have helped make this event possible! We look forward to another series next year.

MedNorth will be closed on Thursday, November 24, and Friday, November 25. Regular office hours will resume on Saturday.

Thank you, Bigg Redds, for hosting today's Barbershop Initiative Event. We connected with local patrons to health resources and provided free blood pressure checks with the help of Novant Health. We look forward to continuing our partnerships and encouraging our community to improve and sustain their health.

We are pleased to announce that MedNorth Health Center is teaming up with Novant Health NHRMC and surrounding barbershops for the Barber Shop Initiative.

The Barbershop Initiative promotes health, and wellness, answering questions and connecting patrons to healthcare resources at local barbershops.

This Friday, November 11th, MedNorth will be at Big Redd's Barbershop from 2 PM to 4 PM, so stop by and see us! It's a great time to get a haircut and bring a loved one with you to take the initiative in your health! See the poster for more details.
