Our belief is simple. Everyone in North Carolina deserves the opportunity to be healthy. And this should be true regardless of where a person lives, their financial situation, or the color of their skin. Unfortunately, that is not yet the case – both here in North Carolina and across the United States. There are significant disparities tied to race, poverty, geography, education, and more – a result of systemic failures that stand in the way of all people having the same opportunity for good health.

We believe this can, and needs, to change. And we believe it is our responsibility to be part of the solution.
