The NCIOM convenes task forces, or working groups, of knowledgeable and interested individuals to study complex health issues facing the state and develop workable solutions. The five DHHS staffers will be joining a group of over 150 North Carolinians who serve the state as health care providers, academics, policymakers and business leaders. Dr. Carrie Brown Featured on “Education Matters” DHHS Chief Medical Officer of Behavioral Health Dr. Carrie Brown recently appeared on an episode of “Education Matters,” presented by the Public School Forum of North Carolina, to talk about how we can keep our children safe from bullying, self-harm and suicide. Watch the episode and important discussion. DHHS Hosts Red Cross Blood Drive NCDHHS participated in American Red Cross blood drive on April 19 on the Dorothea Dix campus in Raleigh. Twenty-six lifesaving pints were donated. Because the Red Cross uses plasma, platelets and red blood cells from each donation, the 26 pints could help up to 78 individuals. We’re looking for DHHS people and partners to give “shoutouts” to. Know of someone who deserves a shoutout? Reach out to your Division’s Communications Manager or email news@dhhs.nc.gov.
