Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas

Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas (HPHC), an initiative of The Duke Endowment launched in 2015, is a bold, community-based approach to addressing chronic health issues – such as unhealthy weight, diabetes and heart disease – through the work of local coalitions initiating evidence-based interventions to improve health. HPHC recognizes that health and well-being are created and sustained not just through individual and clinical efforts, but through the cooperation and support of the extended local community. Coalitions involve leaders from a wide spectrum of community organizations – health care, public health, social services, government, education, business and others – to engage residents in improving their health.
The NC Healthcare Foundation works with Population Health Improvement Partners to provide technical assistance and coaching to 14 coalitions across NC. An additional 10 coalitions are supported SCHA in SC.
