Health & Wellness

If you have visited our What to Do page, then you already know we believe in outdoor activities.  We have the room and resources for them, and we believe not only in their recreational benefits, but also their health benefits.  Many of our restaurants offer Healthy Choice menus, and we have stores that cater to vegan diets.  In our towns, you’ll find numerous private gyms and personal trainers, as well as newly built and renovated YMCAs.

Our region is fortunate to have access to great medical care.  This includes preventive care with pediatricians, primary physicians, dentists, chiropractors, and more.  Our large regional healthcare systems – Sentara Halifax, Danville Regional, Duke University Health System - offer specialists in all fields.  And, let’s not forget our animal family members and friends.  There are numerous small and large animal veterinarians in our region, many of whom received their training from one of the few veterinary schools on the east coast, located at Virginia Tech, just a couple hour’s drive from Halifax, Virginia.
