Happy, Friday, ! The latest issue of Durham This Week Online is here.

Durham County is celebrating Men’s Health Month this June, and this year's national theme is “Partners in Care”. June brings the opportunity for the community to come together to uplift men's health and remind men and boys that their health matters.

Did you know that men die an average of six years earlier than women, largely from conditions that are preventable or manageable with early detection and consistent care? In this week’s DTWO, County Manager Claudia Hager brings attention to the importance of supporting men’s health and highlights local resources and events available throughout June.

This edition of DTWO is packed with updates, including upcoming events, job opportunities, and other important news. Read the full newsletter here https://mailchi.mp/dconc/here-is-durham-this-week-online-for-may-29-2026
