| Description |
Healthy Carolinians/Health Education (HC/HE) is a statewide network of community-based partnerships to improve the health of North Carolinians. HC partnerships (HCPs) use a planning process that brings together representatives from public health, hospitals, healthcare providers, health and human service agencies, churches, schools, businesses, as well as community members, elected officials and organizations to conduct community health assessments (CHA), identify and establish health priorities based on NC 2010 Health Objectives, develop and implement programs to address the priorities, and mobilize resources to support community health improvement. The Governor's Task Force for Healthy Carolinians certifies each partnership based on nine standards for community health improvement. HC/HE also supports the public health education workforce within the local health department. The guiding principle of Healthy Carolinians/Health Education is that the community is qualified to effectively identify and mobilize resources to address its health and safety problems and respond to health disparities. |
