The Purpose of MooreHealth is to gain community support in assessing unmet health needs and find solutions to improve the health of Moore County citizens. These include breast cancer, heart disease, immunization and automobile injuries in Moore County. One in nine women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
Exercise is one of the factors in preventing the onset of heart disease.
By focusing on exercise among children and young adults, the Heart Disease Task Force is trying to prevent heart disease before it begins. Although Moore County has a high percentage of senior citizens, the majority of automobile injuries occur in teens and young adults. The Automobile Injury Task Force will identify contributing factors to injury. This program will attempt to increase immunization rates among children under age two. It says a lot about the people of the community when they are willing to work together to help provide assessable, quality healthcare.
