Engaging in Consumer Education and Feedback to Decrease Health Disparities
The shift to Medicaid managed care and new value-based care arrangements in the state could improve health outcomes for financially vulnerable residents or widen already steep racial and geographic disparities. To ensure that families with low incomes are not harmed as payment models change, the Trust will support efforts to educate residents and promote Medicaid member feedback and information sharing among stakeholders.
Healthy Places North Carolina
Many Eastern North Carolina organizations are mobilizing to improve their communities in four broad areas of work: mitigating and preventing adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress; addressing substance use and overdose deaths; building equitable food systems; and creating equitable recreation opportunities. Most of these efforts align with goals identified in the state’s Healthy 2030 plan. The Trust is interested in supporting movement and network building to improve the policies and systems driving health inequities.
