Welcome to the Pitt Stop
Pitt Stop is a one stop location where healthcare, education, employment, and social services come together under one roof. Our goal is to make it easier for residents in Pitt County and surrounding counties to access the support they need.
Pitt Stop is a community-driven initiative designed to bring essential services closer to the people who need them most. Born from the vision of Dr. Angela Lamson, a dedicated Pitt County citizen, and former Pitt County Health Director John Silvernail, along with hundreds of Pitt County partners, Pitt Stop was created to make healthcare, education, and community support more accessible for families across Pitt County.
Our first location in Bethel is being developed through the thoughtful renovation of the former Bethel Police Station—a building deeply rooted in the community’s history. Once home to the Bethel Clinic, this site has long served as a place where families turned for care and connection. In fact, Mayor Carl Wilson was born in this very building.Now, it’s being renewed with purpose—reimagined as a welcoming, multi-specialty hub that once again supports local health and well-being.
At the Bethel Pitt Stop, physicians, private providers, and community partners will rotate on a scheduled basis so residents can access high-quality services without traveling far. For example, Pitt Stop will bring local doctors to Bethel on designated days, with other partners who can offer vital supports such as social services assistance, career services, food pantry distributions, and dental care. Pitt Stop will also host a variety of mobile health and education units.
Each Pitt Stop will have a Pitt Stop Navigator to help residents schedule appointments, connect to services, and access available resources. From healthcare to nutrition, employment to education, Pitt Stop is designed to meet community needs in one convenient, accessible space.
Most importantly, Pitt Stop is built for the community, by the community. Guided by collaboration and sustained through strong partnerships, our mission is to strengthen health, well-being, and quality of life for every resident.
Our goal is simple: to create safe, local spaces where neighbors can walk to care, support, and opportunity. With the first location in Bethel underway, we look forward to expanding Pitt Stops across Pitt County—continuing a proud tradition of community care and local connection.
