Rep. Reeder Tours Pirate Pediatrics

Rep. Reeder had a very nice tour of Pirate Pediatrics to learn about a program they use called Reach Out and Read. This program integrates reading and books into regular well-child visits. It evaluates development and reinforces reading to children at a young age. I appreciate learning about the programs the NC General Assembly helps to fund to ensure taxpayer money is well spent.

Local Projects

Rep. Reeder met with council and staff from the City of Greenville, The North Carolina Government, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation to discuss major projects for 10th Street and Memorial Drive. These projects will develop a comprehensive solution to protect pedestrians while improving traffic flow.

Meeting with Dental Students

Rep. Reeder had a nice time talking to dental students at the East Carolina School of Dental Medicine about the importance of advocacy and some of the tools that they can use. Much of health care regulation happens on the state level and Rep. Reeder believes that it is critical to have their input.

Rep. Reeder recognized by NC FreeEnterprise

Rep. Reeder was happy to be recognized by the North Carolina FreeEnterprise Foundation, a premiere, non-partisan organization that studies the business environment. Rep.
