This year has certainly been like no other and the response and actions from our businesses and citizens alike has been inspiring and revealing of the resilience of Pitt County and its people. While the year as Chairman may have been challenging due to the Pandemic, it still provided the opportunity to work alongside our members, regularly interacting with business of all sizes, non-profits, healthcare, education and local government. In a time of change and challenge, we saw our community rally around local businesses and non-profits more than ever before. Our local educators transitioned over night from teaching as they always have to the virtual classroom. Retailers, restaurants, fitness facilities and cultural venues quickly adapted to offer social media and online sales to continue their work and retain their talented workforce. Some businesses even pivoted to producing the Personal Protective Equipment that we all needed to remain safe. No matter the challenge we face, Pitt County and its people continue to pull together and persevere.

Your gifts are providing HOPE for families, friends and colleagues, making our communities stronger and better places to live and work. And for this…we are extremely grateful. This year’s cover features Erica Thomas and her son Gray. In 2017, at the age of 29, she was diagnosed with T-Cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and her world would forever be changed. After two years of fighting this terrible disease, Erica has HOPE that she, one day, will be cancer free. Scott Senatore Thank you, Erica, for allowing us to tell your story and use your battle to inspire others. In the pages that follow, you will learn about what made 2019 such an amazing year — from celebrating 10 years of the East Carolina Heart Institute at Vidant Medical Center to seeing the difference just one year of cancer care provided at the Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Tower has made in the lives of cancer patients. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We are grateful that you chose to support Vidant Health and provide HOPE for all of eastern North Carolina.
