Welcome!

We're here for you.

At Promise Place, we are here to support you in whatever way we can. We are a sexual assault resource center, working to build safer communities free of sexual violence and its impact in Craven, Jones, and Pamlico County. We work to promote change by providing community outreach, education, and prevention programs, and trauma-informed advocacy and mental health services. One of our lesser-known services is our food pantry, which is open to all community members. All our services are provided at no cost, regardless of insurance status. The core of our work is our advocacy, and we offer trauma therapy and community outreach education services to anyone who has been victimized by sexual violence or other crime. Learn more about our organization, what kind of services we offer, and how you can get involved by exploring our website or by visiting us in-person at one of our Craven, Pamlico, or Jones County offices.

We believe everyone deserves access to medical care. We want to provide for other unmet needs in Eastern North Carolina, as well, including increasing access to our services, mental health, and transportation. We want to see visits to the local hospital emergency room continue to decrease and more lives saved, while our patients continue to be pleased with the care they receive at Hope Clinic. We want to empower our patients by teaching them about their diseases so they can actively participate in managing their illnesses and achieve their best health. Hope Clinic provides free health care in Pamlico County primarily for low income, uninsured adults. Hope Clinic patients are never billed for their medical care or prescriptions.

The mission of the Kinston Community Health Center is to provide quality and accessible health care to all the people of our community in the most cost-efficient manner.
