CCNC Builds Primary Care Workforce

CCNC is comprised of 14 independent and networked healthcare delivery systems each managed by delegations of local community physicians, hospitals, health departments, and departments of social services representatives. This framework fosters statewide collaboration and development, yet is flexible to address regional and community-specific health system needs. Both work in tandem to achieve remarkable quality, cost, access and utilization targets.
