Story Behind the Curve
The Duplin County Health Department's primary care clinic gives many of our patients equitable healthcare opportunities and access to preventative care that can result in improved patient health outcomes. The care provided is vital to the county, and helps many patients manage chronic conditions and receive care for acute conditions without having to go to the emergency department.
