WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., ― To mark the progress made in the fight against COVID-19, Novant Health today announced it will be hosting a series of Welcome Back Fest street festivals across the communities it serves in North Carolina. The three free community events, which are scheduled on three different days in July and August, aim to support diverse local businesses, honor healthcare heroes and celebrate the milestones reached with the help of community members.
“We are so excited to welcome our community back to life and enjoy these festivals as we continue to slow the spread of COVID-19,” said Jesse Cureton, executive vice president and chief consumer officer, Novant Health. “From our health care heroes working relentlessly on the front lines to our community members stepping up when there was a need, this is a remarkable way to celebrate everyone who has helped us get through the pandemic. It’s also a way to celebrate everything we’ve missed out on for more than a year. We are so grateful to those who have done their part and received their COVID-19 vaccine as we look forward to getting back to a new normal.”
Welcome Back Fest will be held on the following dates:
- Saturday, July 24 in Charlotte, N.C.
