The Green Rural Redevelopment Organization GRRO

We extend our sincere thanks to GRRO Board member, Dr. Devon Noonan, Co-Lead of the Rural Health Equity Hub and Associate Dean for Community Engagement Science and Director of Rural Health Equity at Duke School of Nursing, for leading our impactful “How to Mend a Broken Heart” speaker session.

Dr. Noonan’s insights on rural health equity and community-centered care deeply resonated with our audience and reinforced the importance of partnerships in advancing healthier, more resilient rural communities. We are grateful for her leadership, expertise, and commitment to improving health outcomes where it matters most. 💚

It’s and along with our community partners are celebrating all things rural health during our Rural Health Fair at Vance County Regional Farmers’ Market. If you’re in the Henderson area stop by!

Thank you to the The National Job Corps Association for highlighting the great work happening in our rural communities.
