Policies to Support HNC 2030
Refer to pages 29 to 32 in the 2023 NC SHIP report: Table 2 provides a summary of the policies identified by the 2022-2023 NC SHIP Community Council to support HNC 2030 and does not constitute an endorsement by NC DHHS/DPH. Many of the policies were originally suggested in HNC 2030: A Path Toward Health, and others were added by the NC SHIP Community Council members and community stakeholders July-September 2021 (pp. 8-9). Some of the policies are also those included in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Health Rankings & Roadmaps Evidence Library of “What Works for Health” - https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/take-action-to-improve-health/whatworks-for-health. NC DHHS/DPH welcomes the opportunity to work with its partners and the community to prioritize policies and programs that have the greatest potential for “Turning the Curve” on the HNC 2030 indicators.
