General OBX Outer Banks Jobs

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a new job, and I'm from Pittsburgh, PA. I'm very interested in finding something in the Outer Banks, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what some good companies to apply to for marketing, communications, or guest relations roles would be? Especially any that help with temporary housing? Thanks for the help!

Kill Devil Hills Do not let you senior parents retire in OBX

About 8 years ago my parents decided to move full time to OBX. They had owned a vacation home there for 30 years prior.
Well, over the last 8 years my 70+ father needed medical care that the current options could not support
The OBX hospital is great, but is essentially an urgent care facility. He’s been transferred out of OBX to Norfolk for things like kidney infection and a blood clot. Now my senior Mom has to travel 90 minutes without beach traffic to see him in hospital.
When he gets out of hospital the only rehab facility is Peak in the OBX which is terrible. Next closest is Barco, 40 minutes away.
He’s been waiting since April for a doctor to come back to town for a routine appointment which won’t be until September.

TLDR; the medical care for seniors is very limited and critical care is non existent.
