North Carolina Re: National Initiative to Address COVID-19 Health Disparities Among Populations at High-Risk and Underserved, Including Racial and Ethnic Minority Populations and Rural Communities - <![CDATA[NC DHHS has been working with urgency & purpose to slow the spread of COVID-19, address inequities exacerbated by the pandemic and work towards recovery. Health equity is a foundational value of NC DHHS. These funds allow DHHS to amplify efforts to address health disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic for historically marginalized populations, including racial and ethnic minority populations and rural communities. Strategy 1 Expanding Health Equity Resources & Services will focus on: Capacity building for local health departments to create a health equity infrastructure for their COVID-19 response strategies; Increasing ability of health programs to connect to needs like transportation, housing and food; Addressing major public health issues that either exacerbate the risks of COVID-19, such as smoking, or that have been accentuated as a result of COVID-19, such as mental health with a focus on historically marginalized populations; Targeting particularly high-risk groups, such as incarcerated women & people with substance use disorders with COVID-19-related public health resources. Strategy 2 Improving Health Equity Data and Reporting will focus on: Investing in foundational data infrastructure & skills to measure health disparities and share aggregated data publicly to inform public health action; Building a Centralized Health Equity Data program for the gathering, analyzing, and sharing public health data to protect the health of all citizens with an emphasis on historically marginalized populations. Strategy 3 Augmenting Critical Health Equity Infrastructure will focus on: Engaging a coalition of multi-sector stakeholders that include members of underserved rural communities & organizations to increase access to critical COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, and other supportive services; Augmenting health equity staffing to coordinate efforts across DPH and with local health departments and create performance management systems with health equity lens. Strategy 4: Partner Mobilization will focus on: Supporting community Based Organizations and rural health providers’ use of NCCare360, NC’s closed loop resource referral platform; Supporting communities in each of 8 NC Prosperity Zones to create community changes that support healthy living; Funding 20 community-based and faith-based organizations across NC to provide culturally & linguistically appropriate COVID-19 services and information to build trust and capacity in communities; and Expanding communications resources to reach people where they are through people and channels that they trust with a focus on American Indian, people with disabilities, Spanish-speaking populations. These funded activities will achieve reduced COVID-19-related health disparities and improved state and local capacity and services to prevent and control COVID-19 among populations at higher risk and that are underserved, including racial & ethnic minorities and rural communities.]]>
