Why Place Matters


Place does make a difference in someone's life. The area that you live in determines what resources and opportunities are available. According to statistics, Robeson County is second to last in health statistics and this is a major problem. Robeson County is considered unhealthy because of the lack of resources available compared to other counties and cities. Now, there are many ways to combat health issues, but issues related to Robeson County are something that one would have to research and study. One would need an "ear" to the community as a whole in order to really fix the health and wellness problem. My suggestions would be to set up educational programs within the school system so that kids can learn at an early age what it means to be "healthy" and "well." To agree with the child program, an adult program could spring up to keep adults and seniors health. These programs would promote health and wellness as a necessity and not a luxury.
