Chatham County Health Department Partners with StarMed for Vaccine Rollout As vaccination efforts continue to build across North Carolina, Chatham County’s Public Health Department recently announced a partnership to better expand its reach. The county department shared StarMed HealthCare, a health care system based in Charlotte, will take over operations for the mass vaccination clinics held at the county’s Agriculture and Conference Center in Pittsboro. After the health department’s staff held a clinic on Monday, the StarMed team will conduct the vaccinations and flow of the clinics beginning on Friday. Chatham County Public Health Director Mike Zelek said since StarMed has partnered with his department for months to conduct weekly COVID-19 testing events through the community, he believes the transition will be smooth.
