ICYMI: As the weather cools down, we’re seeing a rise in respiratory viruses in eastern North Carolina like COVID-19 and RSV.

Dr. Jacob Pierce, medical director of infection prevention at ECU Health, shares vaccines are still available and remain the most powerful defense for ourselves and for loved ones who can’t be vaccinated

For many, these viruses are a temporary inconvenience. But for others, especially young children, older adults, pregnant people and those with chronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes, they can lead to severe illness, hospitalization or worse.

Barber for Life, which started in 2016 as a prostate cancer awareness effort at barbershops, has expanded its reach to connect to men in rural communities.

Barbers across eastern North Carolina now offer trusted conversations in spaces where men feel comfortable discussing their health, from cancer screenings and diabetes to hypertension, mental health, and more.

“A lot of men say, ‘just give that information to my wife,’ or they’d rather not know. That’s why events like the Men’s Health Fair, the car show and Barbershop Real Talk are so important. They help us bring awareness and create opportunities to connect with men in spaces where they feel comfortable. Programs like Barbers for Life allow us to build trust and bridge a gap between health care and the community,” said Charmaine Reeder, community health engagement coordinator.

We have partnered with Artisight to introduce Smart Hospital technology across our facilities, starting with five hospitals and expanding to more in the coming year. This new platform will make telehealth services more efficient by expanding specialized care from ECU Health Medical Center to patients in ECU Health hospitals across eastern North Carolina and improve the experience for both patients and care teams.

“Our commitment to building the national model for rural health care means finding new ways to remove barriers. This platform helps patients get high-quality specialty care close to home, without the need to travel. Through partnerships like this, we’re using technology to extend our reach and improve care across eastern North Carolina,” Brian Floyd, ECU Health Chief Operating Officer.
