Funding Priorities
School-Based Mental Health
Consistent with national statistics, North Carolina and South Carolina have seen children's mental health reach emergency levels. Our Health Care program partners with schools to support innovative, systems-based approaches to mental health that help ensure all children are healthy and ready to learn.
Population Health
As the United States advances value-based payment methodology, the Health Care program area is building capacity at the state, regional and local level to link government, health, and social services so that Carolinians have the opportunity to increase healthy behaviors and address their social needs.
Expanding Access to Care for Vulnerable Populations
Across the Carolinas, too many vulnerable residents lack insurance or go underserved. The Health Care program area seeks to reduce health disparities, improve clinical outcomes and reduce inappropriate hospital utilization by increasing access to essential services for low-income uninsured adults and underserved populations.
Maternal & Infant Health
The Health Care program area seeks to improve maternal and infant health outcomes and reduce health disparities.
Improving Community Health through Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas
The Duke Endowment launched its Healthy People, Healthy Carolinas Initiative in 2015 to help communities in North Carolina and South Carolina address chronic health issues such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
