A message from our new Kinston director, Lesley Rigsby

May 15, 2024

Hello everyone, I am Lesley Rigsby, the new center director at the EPIC Center in Kinston. I was born and raised in Kinston and love this town. I have been a registered nurse for 19 years in the Family Birth Center at UNC Health Lenoir, here in Kinston, and have dedicated my career to educating

"The center has helped me be a better parent. I learned a lot of stuff by coming here, things I wouldn’t have thought of really—I mean, I had no idea… and I got to come talk about babies and get out of the house. I got to be around other moms going through the same things [as me]. All the babies are here! Last week was crazy. I love going where all the babies are."

"I wanted to say thank you for always trying to work with me so that I can get my classes completed. This parenting series is helping me more than you could realize. My relationship with my children has improved immensely and I thank you for being an awesome instructor."

"You all really helped me through a lot! My husband and I have been clients for about one and a half years and as a first-time mom I don't know what to do... the classes help me with work through motherhood."
