Ask the Doc Town Halls
Ask the Doc began in 2021 amid COVID-19 as a way for the public to virtually connect with health professionals to understand the changing landscape of the pandemic. Hosted quarterly by the Population Health division of Wake County Public Health, each session features a panel of local medical professionals who share their expertise and engage with residents to address pressing health concerns.
