The North Carolina Public Health Association, North Carolina Association of Local Health Directors, and North Carolina Alliance of Public Health Agencies came together via a formalized partnership in 2006. In 2022, this partnership was re-branded as the North Carolina Public Health Collaboration.

Previously, each organization developed its own strategic plan. To better align priorities and goals across the three associations for the future, and to maximize our impact and support of public health in North Carolina, we worked with moss+ross in 2024 to lead a comprehensive strategic planning process. The results of this process are described in our Strategic plan.

Our staff and members-driven leadership of the Collaboration look forward to implementing this strategic plan over the next three to five years as we constantly strive to advance North Carolina public health.
