Healthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks (HCOB) is a collaborative, community based network of individuals, businesses, government and non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life for all of our residents by evaluating and addressing community issues, supporting health education and awareness, and promoting resource accessibility.

Healthy Carolinians of the Outer Banks has identified four health priorities to address in the community. These health priorities were chosen because they were identified in several recent community needs assessments conducted in Dare County.

• Cancer Prevention
• Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention
• Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention
• Obesity Prevention

Two taskforces from the previous community assessment (2002) continue to meet:

• Motor Vehicle Injury Prevention
• Access to Healthcare
