Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas is an initiative of The Duke Endowment. Launched in 2015, this bold initiative takes a community-based approach to addressing chronic health issues, such as unhealthy weight, diabetes and heart disease.
The Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas initiative 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. Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas began with coalitions in five NC regions, and has now grown to include 10.
The North Carolina Hospital Foundation works with Population Health Improvement Partners to provide technical assistance and coaching to community coalitions assisting them in their efforts to create multi-sector partnerships and implement interventions that work and engage residents in improving their health.
