A Message From the Executive Director
Joy Grady, Executive Director
Joy S. Grady 

Happy New Year! 

 

Did you know that WHAT is the only healthcare provider in southeastern North Carolina that specializes in adolescent healthcare? At our wellness centers, including those at Ashley High School and New Hanover High School, we provide primary care, mental health, nutrition, and health education services.  

 

At the WHAT's unique centers teens can get sports physicals, make sure they are up to date on their immunizations, or talk to one of our mental health counselors for tips on dealing with stress, family changes or peer pressure.  Students with asthma can get help with managing and controlling their symptoms. 

 

If your teen's school doesn't have a wellness center, he or she can access the same services and more at our main facility on Oleander Drive, which is open late to provide after school convenience. Remember, Wilmington Health Access for Teens is the only healthcare provider in southeastern North Carolina that specializes in teens!  

 

Visit us today at any of our centers and see why WHAT is such a special place for teens we serve and their families.
