The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners has extended the county-wide face covering requirement for all indoor public spaces through Jan. 3, 2022. The indoor mask requirement also extends to Asheville, Biltmore Forest, Black Mountain, Montreat, Weaverville, and Woodfin.
In Buncombe County, COVID-19 case rates continue to be high, and per the CDC definition, the County remains an area of high transmission. The percent positivity remains in the moderate category, and the death rate remains in the substantial category.“Unfortunately, COVID-19 cases continue to increase after a high level plateau. The percent positivity is now consistently above 5% again, and we are likely to see a further increase after the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Public Health Director Stacie Saunders. “Transitioning to living with COVID-19 means doing what we can now to reduce transmission and burden of new infections. Our goal is to dampen as much as possible any surge we may see during this holiday season with the hope of achieving decreasing case rate and spread as we enter the new year.”

Consumers enrolling in a plan on HealthCare.gov (for Spanish-speakers Cuidadodesalud.gov) are guaranteed to receive comprehensive coverage and cannot be denied coverage based on pre-existing conditions. All plans cover essential benefits, including doctor and hospital visits, prescription drugs, mental health treatment, and maternity care. In addition, consumers receive free preventive care services, such as immunizations and health screenings. Testing and treatment of COVID-19 are considered essential health benefits and are covered by all HealthCare.gov plans.
Consumers should avoid insurance plans offered outside of HealthCare.gov that seem too good to be true. “Junk insurance” products and short-term limited duration plans pose huge financial risks to consumers. These products can refuse to pay for care for pre-existing conditions, charge consumers more based on their gender, and impose annual coverage limits. HealthCare.gov is the only website where North Carolina consumers are guaranteed to get comprehensive coverage.
Pisgah Legal and other enrollment partners of WNC participating organizations give local people free, unbiased health insurance information and enrollment assistance in the NC Health Insurance Marketplace. These organizations include: Council on Aging of Buncombe County, Blue Ridge Community Health Services, Legal Aid of North Carolina, Mountain Projects, Inc., Western Carolina Medical Society, and Pisgah Legal Services. Pisgah Legal Services is a member of the North Carolina Navigators Consortium.
Since 1978, nonprofit Pisgah Legal Services has provided free civil legal aid to help people with low incomes seek justice and meet their basic needs including preventing homelessness, stopping domestic violence and securing health care. PLS provides a broad array of free legal services. Last year Pisgah Legal served more than 20,000 people across the mountain region.
PLS has offices in Asheville, Burnsville, Brevard, Hendersonville, Highlands/Cashiers, Marshall, Newland, Rutherfordton and Spruce Pine. Pisgah Legal employs staff attorneys and relies heavily on the pro bono legal services of approximately 300 volunteer attorneys.

Macie joined the YWCA earlier this year, and if you’ve been in the building you’ve probably been greeted with her warm energy and welcoming smile. Macie is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and as our Membership Coordinator, she’s here to support all members. Raised by a strong single mother who worked tirelessly to cover the bills, Macie saw her mom compromise her own wellbeing at times to ensure all of Macie’s needs were met. “She did the absolute best she could to provide for us with the resources and education she had, and I know my mom could have benefited from a program like what we have here at the YWCA,” says Macie. With just the two of them navigating their hardships together, Macie grew determined to build a life that was abundant, full of resources, and felt empowering. Today she is part of the YWCA’s Health and Wellness team, and has a passion for helping people, and supports programming that is accessible, inclusive, and that defines wellness as supporting the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Read more of Macie’s story online.
Stop by and meet Macie and the rest of our Health and Wellness team or join us on January 1st for Community Day or on January 8th for a free Health and Wellness Fair! EveryBODY is invited regardless of membership.

The weather outside is frightful, but Asheville musician Noah Proudfoot is already looking forward to warmer days and lots of mountain biking later this year, so signing up for health insurance was especially important to him.
“I haven’t been to a doctor in at least 10 years, but I wanted to make sure that if I break a bone I’m covered,” says Proudfoot.
He’s one of more than 13.6 million folks who are getting covered for 2022, a historic number that is outpacing all previous Affordable Care Act (ACA ) Open Enrollments.
The HealthCare.gov Marketplace is now offering its Open Enrollment Period, when people throughout Western North Carolina – and the entire country – can sign up for quality, affordable health insurance for 2022, but they must act before the Jan. 15 deadline.
Proudfoot reviewed his options free of charge and with expert help, working with Claire Kolberg, a navigator for Pisgah Legal Service’s Health Justice program, which helps local people sign up for ACA health insurance.
He says, “I appreciated the free consultation, how thorough and knowledgeable Claire was and the amount of time she was willing to dedicate to helping me understand the plan options.”
