The Duplin Coalition for Health (DCFH) is a community health improvement partnership with representatives from local churches, businesses, communities, and human service agencies. DCFH collaboratively responds to the compelling health needs of the people of Duplin County through assessment, resource identification and development, citizen advocacy, comprehensive planning, and coordination of health intervention and prevention strategies. DCFH uses the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), as a joint effort with ECU Health Duplin Hospital and the Duplin County Health Department to identify, understand, and prioritize the health concerns of the residents of Duplin County. The purpose of DCFH uses a collaborative approach to improve the community's health by leveraging the resources and knowledge of the participant organization and community members.
