At the Trust, our commitment to investing statewide in the power of local leadership focused on improving health long term is stronger than ever, particularly in these times. It is our goal for impacted communities to play a primary role in leading strategies to prevent, address, and treat opioid and substance misuse. Systems and institutions must be held accountable and listen to and learn from residents as we work toward better health outcomes for all.

We know the strength of North Carolina communities and residents, and we look forward to continuing to walk in partnership with you because our collective attention, ideas, and action are needed now more than ever.

The Trust remains committed to ensuring that all children are given a strong start in life and school. And the Trust remains committed to closing disparities so that health, education, and economic outcomes aren’t entirely predictable by race and place.

Our framework illustrates why and how we now center equity in all our work at the Trust.
