Earlier this week, after the Outer Banks Seafood Festival was canceled, our team brought the planned festival menu to Outer Banks Health with a special Thrive Bites Pop-Up!

Thanks to our amazing team members and everyone who stopped by, we sold out and received generous donations supporting our We Give Campaign and the development of the Outer Banks Health Walking Path.

Thank you to everyone who came out, enjoyed a delicious lunch and helped bring this project one step closer to reality!

Dare County Schools students recently visited Outer Banks Health for the Healthcare Careers Exploration Program (HCEP), gaining a closer look at the many career opportunities in healthcare.

During their visit, students toured departments, connected with our team members and learned more about the important roles that help us provide quality, compassionate care to our community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible!

Although the Outer Banks Seafood Festival was canceled due to the storm, our team is bringing the planned festival menu to Outer Banks Health with a special Thrive Bites Pop-Up!

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, October 20, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Outer Banks Health main hospital lobby for a pop-up featuring a seared shrimp cake sandwich, OBX-style clam chowder and Latin-inspired shrimp ceviche, prepared by our award-winning Food and Nutrition Services team.

We’ll be accepting donations for the menu items, with all proceeds supporting our We Give Campaign and the development of the Outer Banks Health Walking Path.

Planned for our hospital campus, the walking path will provide a safe, accessible outdoor space for movement, reflection and connection.

Stop by, grab lunch and help us bring this exciting project to life! Cash, check and credit card donations will be accepted. We hope to see you there!
