Piedmont Rising continues series of health care town halls in February

Meetings held in Elizabeth City, Durham, and Morganton will highlight what is at stake for North Carolinians’ health care.

Raleigh, N.C. — Last month, in response to recent attacks on North Carolinians’ health care, Piedmont Rising kicked off a statewide health care town hall tour for North Carolinians to share health care concerns and urgently call attention to the fight to defend lifesaving protections.

Tour stops will provide participants with a health care update, original research, as well as an open forum to ask questions and identify community concerns.

Organizers will also encourage constituents to share their health care stories to connect with lawmakers, and help make complex health care policies easier to understand.

February meetings will be held in Elizabeth City, Durham, Morganton, with 17 other locations, across the state, to be announced through the month of July.
