We continue to make progress with our strategic plan and are excited to unveil the finished product to both Commissioners and the community in November.  The feedback we have received from the community via the recent online survey and stakeholder meetings held across the county have been invaluable.  Based on preliminary feedback, we recognize that there are five areas of primary importance and we look forward to building the plan around these focus areas which include:
 









Later this year, we will launch a location on the county website where goals of the plan can be found, along with progress that is being made to achieve those goals.  We look forward to bringing this information to you.
Join Us for a Special Ribbon Cutting and Open House Event

The community is invited to join us as we celebrate the opening of our new EMS facility with a special ribbon cutting and open house! The event will be held on Monday, October 2 at 3:30 p.m. At this time, tours of the facility will be offered to guests.

The EMS - 2 facility is located in northern Davie County to provide support services for the growing population. This facility includes a three drive-thru truck bay, offices and living quarters. It was designed to purposefully blend in with the historic Farmington area.

The Nest Family Counseling Center Now Open

In an effort to meet the needs of families in our community, The Nest Family Counseling Center has been established.  The center is a division of Davie County Public Health and serves children ages 3-18 years, along with their families.  Therapists are available to counsel families who are dealing with difficult situations and work with the family as a whole to reach positive outcomes.  Some examples of trauma where The Nest staff will focus their counseling efforts include exposure to violence, loss of a loved one, physical abuse, sexual abuse and family issues such as divorce.  We are excited about this new agency that will provide professional mental health care to families so that they can heal effectively.
