The mission of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services is, in collaboration with our partners, to protect the health and safety of all North Carolinians and provide essential human services.
The North Carolina Office of Rural Health and Community Care (ORHCC) helps communities get low-cost access to medical care. Since it was created in 1973, ORHCC has opened 86 rural health centers across the state. Currently, ORHCC supports 28 rural health centers with funding and technical support. ORHCC also helps to place medical, psychiatric, and dental providers in communities throughout the state. Rural hospitals, as well as many statewide medical facilities that treat poor and uninsured residents, may receive help through grant funds. Qualifying patients may take advantage of drug companies’ free and low-cost drug programs through ORHCC’s medication assistance program.
