So excited to finally share!!
After seeing real progress in recent years in our fight against the opioid crisis, the pandemic reversed our trends resulting in more tragic overdose deaths. Our partnership with @BloombergDotOrg will help build a stronger system for addition resources. governor.nc.gov/news/press-r…

Yesterday was #WorldMentalHealthDay- an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues & promote mental wellness. This has never been more important as the #COVID19 pandemic has been traumatic for us all, aggravated health conditions for many & erected barriers to care.

"By not expanding Medicaid, the state is fighting with one hand tied behind its back". Nearly 40% of people who go to an emergency room with an overdose have no health coverage at all. We know what works to prevent overdoses. wunc.org/health/2021-08-16/o…

The shot that counts! 🏀 NC NCAA men’s and women’s basketball coaches have come together to urge everyone to take their shot against COVID-19. They talk about why they personally chose to get vaccinated and how that helps to protect others.

Starting tomorrow March 17, NC will begin administering COVID-19 vaccines to Group 4. Because supply is still limited, we will start with anyone with high-risk medical conditions or living in certain congregate settings. Learn more about Group 4 here: covid19.ncdhhs.gov/vaccines/…

As part of the relief bill, Congress just extended Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months. Read all about this critical issue in timely @JHPPL piece by @emilyanneck @jamie_daw @Prof_HeidiAllen & Kristen Underhill. read.dukeupress.edu/jhppl/ar… @haroldpollack @jrovner
North Carolina has racial data on 99.6% of people who got a #vaccine in its state, more than any other in the U.S. Officials say collecting that information has helped them distribute shots more equitably. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #HealthEquity
👇 so excited about this. This can help expand access to quality care, particularly in rural & underserved areas where there aren't enough waivered providers. But also X the X waiver.
The @GovInst and @ncdhhs are partnering to run a pilot program that will enable waivered advanced practice providers to prescribe buprenorphine even if their physician supervisors are not waivered. More info: lnkd.in/ePdGmYR @NCMedBoard ncmedboard.org/resources-inf…
