The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) has honored HopeHealth and Nicole Echols, director of external affairs, with the Elizabeth K. Cooke Advocacy MVP Award. The award is named in honor of the late Elizabeth K. “Betsey” Cooke, whose effort and persistence as an advocate for America’s health centers and patients set an example for all health center advocates to follow.

The award recognizes advocates’ dedication and mobilization efforts to generate public and political support for the nation’s Community Health Centers. Echols was presented the award recently during NACHC’s 2024 Policy and Issues Forum (P&I).

Visitors will get an inside look at the world of private collectors at the Florence County Museum’s new art exhibit, “Inside Out.”

The exhibit is composed of work collected by Ray Griffin and Thom Robinson, an Asheville, N.C.-based couple.

It will be the first time the museum displays contemporary Southern Appalachian art and art made by self-taught outsiders.

Stephen Motte, the museum’s curator of interpretations and collections, hopes the exhibit gives visitors a window into the sometimes opaque art world and the role private collectors play in it.

“There’s all these relationships that you don’t see that collectors have with other collectors, that collectors have with galleries, that collectors have with artists, collectors have with museums that they donate to,” Motte said. “… A lot of significant collections in big museums are donations from private collectors whether you know it or not.”
