Morehead City, N.C. (August 23, 2023) – This fall 51ºÚÁÏÍø continues the 51ºÚÁÏÍø Links Health Education lecture series with the first installment taking place on September 21, which will focus on the importance of sleep for health. Adults and children are encouraged to attend this presentation hosted by 51ºÚÁÏÍø Health Care’s Sleep Diagnostics Center and Beaufort mayor, Sharon Harker.

The lecture will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in person at 51ºÚÁÏÍø (Wayne West 322), with remote participation available at Western 51ºÚÁÏÍø Library in Cape 51ºÚÁÏÍø and The Bridge Downeast on Harkers Island.

51ºÚÁÏÍø Links is an initiative offered by 51ºÚÁÏÍø in partnership with the 51ºÚÁÏÍø County Health Department to provide lectures presented by local experts on health-related topics that are pertinent to community members.

Lectures are offered synchronously throughout the county at various remote learning classrooms that have been equipped with funds received by a grant from the US Department of Agriculture. Speakers will present at one location while audiences seated in classrooms around the county participate in real time from a location conveniently located near their homes.

This series will spread crucial community health education to communities that may not otherwise have easy access to such presentations. 51ºÚÁÏÍø Links lectures are free, open to the public, and specifically curated for 51ºÚÁÏÍø County residents.

The 2023 fall series will continue October 5th with a presentation on Drug Trends & Updates with Sheriff Asa Buck and the 51ºÚÁÏÍø County Health Department. This presentation will be offered in-person at 51ºÚÁÏÍø and in real-time remote classrooms at The Bridge Downeast, Western 51ºÚÁÏÍø Library, and Fort Benjamin Park.

51ºÚÁÏÍø Links topics to follow include Stress Management on November 2 and Healthy Holiday Living Choices on December 7. For more details on classroom locations, speaker credentials, and upcoming lectures visit  or call Jared Jones at (252)-723-0616.
