Current NCAFP Board Chair Dr. Robert L. Rich of Elizabethtown, NC, and NCAFP Past President Dr. Allen Dobson, Jr., (1998) are both featured in a key news story published this week by the American Medical Association News (AMA News).

You can find a copy of the article at http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2010/08/02/gvsa0802.htm. The story provides an excellent overview of Community Care of North Carolina, its origins and its financial impact on the state's Medicaid program. The piece also points to the strong national influence the program has had with other states as they seek to implement similar systems.
