Healthy Opportunities is officially included in the state budget after more than a year of advocacy and hard work. At this time, HOP services remain paused while we await further guidance from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. We will share updates as soon as new information becomes available.
There is not yet an expected date for services to resume, but we will continue to post the latest developments here on our website and across our social media channels.
Yet most healthcare spending is focused on the 20% required to treat diseases instead of preventing them. At Impact Health, we’re working to flip that script.
Our nonprofit network focuses on increasing equitable access to the resources we all need to stay healthy. Instead of reacting to individual and community health problems, we’re taking steps to prevent them.
