Story Behind the Curve
The Community Care Clinic of Dare became the Syringe Services Program provider for Dare County in 2021. After the Community Care Clinic of Dare took over leadership for the program, services began to increase. Moving the program to the Community Care Clinic of Dare was the best choice as it provided a more central location and paid staff to implement the program.
