The North Carolina Institute for Public Health is extending an invitation for those who believe and support its work for better health in North Carolina.

Think of it as a club with a mission, a new way to network with public health professionals, community leaders, and others interested in a stronger public health system. You will part of a group who will be a respected resource for the work of the service and practice arm of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, for what NCIPH is doing now and its future directions.

When you give a gift of $25 or more to NCIPH, you will be the forefront of all Institute news and activities.  You will be feted at an annual luncheon.  Most importantly, you will be financing scholarships for workforce development, field opportunities for students, and helping the Institute assist local health departments and other public health agencies and organizations to improve health in North Carolina communities.

Congratulations to Stephen Keener of Mecklenburg County who, after becoming a Friend of the Institute, won the drawing for two tickets to see a Carolina basketball game.
