The NCIOM was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1983 to serve as a non-political source of information and analysis on major health issues facing the state. The NCIOM informs and shapes health policy by identifying evidence-based solutions to North Carolina’s health challenges and working collaboratively with stakeholders from across the state to identify and build consensus around actionable solutions.
Membership in the NCIOM is intended to honor the work of leaders in health care and public health across North Carolina and to connect members with colleagues also working to advance the health of North Carolinians. Our new 2023 members will be joining a prestigious group of over 150 North Carolinians who serve our state as health care providers, community health leaders, researchers, educators, policymakers, and business leaders.
As their first NCIOM member event, new 2023 members have been invited to join NCIOM staff for an update on recent work, with special focus on practical considerations for North Carolina’s community leaders as they assess the transformative potential of opioid settlement funds. New members will also have the opportunity to meet our staff and make connections with other NCIOM members.
