Mission & Focus Areas

The organization’s stated mission is to promote and support patient-governed community health care organizations and the populations they serve. Its 2024 filing describes its mission as promoting community-based primary health care systems in medically underserved areas, and its program purpose as developing, promoting, operating, and maintaining primary health care systems in North Carolina for medically underserved populations.

NCCHCA’s website says it provides technical assistance on clinical, operational, financial, administrative, and governance issues.

The website identifies a $2.8 million founding investment from The Leon Levine Foundation toward a $6 million initiative goal; this is funding received for the initiative, not reported grantmaking by NCCHCA.
