DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos visited Opportunities Industrialization Center in Rocky Mount last month, touring facilities and checking out the Mobile Health Clinic, used to serve hard-to-reach people who cannot access services due to severe illness, disability, lack of transportation and financial hardship.

She also met with staff from the Wilson County Department of Social Services where she had the opportunity to discuss the improvements that NC Fast will bring to operations in Wilson County. And she learned how local DSS efforts have greatly improved high school graduation rates for teen mothers.
