Overview
Mission
The association's mission is to promote health, prevent disease, and protect the environment in order to ensure the public's health in North Carolina.
What it reported doing in 2024
The members of the association are public health directors from 86 health departments. The association's leadership sets legislative priorities each year and seeks to lead efforts to oppose any bill or amendment that weakens the ability of local health departments to protect and promote the public's health. Accreditation: North Carolina's local health department accreditation program focuses on the local health department's capacity to perform at a prescribed, basic level of quality in the three core functions of assessment, assurance, and policy development, and the 10 essential services as detailed in the national public health performance standards program. The program focuses on a set of minimal standards that must be provided to ensure the protection of the health of the public. The accreditation program served 86 health departments.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
