Please join Care4Carolina for our virtual briefing on the impacts of COVID-19 and the influence of the health insurance coverage gap in North Carolina.
Our expert panel of speakers will cover a range of topics, including: the impact of the pandemic on our economy, health systems, families and children, and chronic disease patients, as well as the role health disparities have played in worsening the situation for so many North Carolinians.
We will discuss how closing the health insurance coverage gap is vital to the health of our citizens, and to alleviating the devastating impacts of this pandemic.
Our director, Erica Palmer Smith, will also offer insight on policy options to address these concerns and share action items for attendees.
This event will take place over Zoom. Registration is required
We will give a general overview of the risks and benefits of BHRT and discuss newer topics such as the consensus statement on testosterone use in MP women and trends toward prescribing testosterone for men in andropause.
We will also discuss the recent support of continuing HRT in women over the age of 65 backed by data on the safety and efficacy of transdermal preparations in this population. Finally, we will discuss the impact of estradiol and testosterone on healthy aging over and above the typical discussion of heart, brain, and bone health. Research out of the University of California San Francisco demonstrates the importance of telomeres in helping to prevent DNA damage that contributes significantly to the development of chronic diseases after the age of 65. Both estrogen and testosterone help to maintain telomere length and thus prevent DNA damage as we age.
What is BHRT?
Bio-identical simply means that the hormone has exactly the same molecular structure as the one naturally made by your body. This is important because your body recognizes it and can metabolize it normally. The term “bio-identical” does not indicate the source of the hormone, only its structure. Bio-identical hormones are made by processing hormone precursors found in plants like soy and yams.

Learn how to reverse the very real and devastating impact of stress through the SIMPLE practice of instinctive meditation that will profoundly shift your life.
Instinctive meditation means it’s natural and our bodies are wired to do it easily and efficiently. All we need to do is to set up the right conditions and our bodies will eagerly cooperate. Learn the skill set needed to meditate on your own even if you have a racing mind and little spare time.
Dropping into deep relaxation on a regular basis helps you to be calm in the face of overwhelm and urgency, can improve your health, and help you be more responsive and less reactive to challenges.
This will be a live webinar on Zoom. You can attend from anywhere that is comfortable to you. Once you register, you will get instructions on how to log in to the event. You will have the option of having your video on or off. You can also call in using a phone number. Link to zoom class:
https://mailchi.mp/9e1057b0227e/meditation-asheville-salt-cave
We’ll start with the basic principles of this approach. Then you will learn and practice some basic skills. This will be followed by a longer guided meditation where you can incorporate the basic skills. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during the class.
A weekly Zoom drop-in class in instinctive meditation will run on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:00 am EST starting April 29 and running for 12 weeks.
Drop in as you can. Each class will cover a different technique.

In alignment with the community’s commitment to uplift racial healing and communal reconciliation, Councilwoman Sheneika Smith, along with other community groups and leaders, will be coordinating a public art installation in Asheville’s central business district. The purpose of this installation is to galvanize solidarity and celebrate our collective movement towards addressing systemic issues locally.
Upon final approval from the City of Asheville, the proposal envisions a street mural located at Pack Square Park on N. Pack and S. Pack Square – an area previously planned as part of the city’s public space initiative.
We need financial support to help make this happen! Our goal is to raise $24,000 for supplies, documentation, maintenance, removal, and most importantly to make sure the artists get paid. The Asheville Area Arts Council is the fiscal agent for this project. Please donate what you can and help us spread the word!
One of the main purposes of the Black Lives Matter mural is to elevate the voices of black artists and make sure they are paid for their work. But, it is much more than that. “The artists who will put their hands to this street mural represent many untold stories,” said Councilwoman Smith. “It is my hope that all eyes that connect with this piece will experience and appreciate the bloody truths released from our collective memory onto a hard canvas. Yet, this is more than a painting or bold expression. It’s an altar that observes the most sacred social movement of my lifetime.”
BUDGET
| $ 6,000 | Painting supplies and other event day expenses |
| $ 1,900 | Documentation (live stream video, photographer) |
| $ 2,000 | Maintenance (This temporary installation could be in place for up to a year. Because of wear and tear from vehicular traffic it will require additional maintenance.) |
| $ 6,000 | Removal (As part of the approval process, we must provide a maintenance and removal plan. This expense is based on quotes we have collected from other similar projects.) |
| $ 8,100 | Artist Honorariums ($1,000 for 1 lead artist per word & $300 per letter for supporting artists) |
| $24,000 | TOTAL* |
