We share a similar mission with health care organizations across the state – to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve. Never has that commitment been more important than now, as the state of North Carolina is at a critical juncture in the battle against COVID-19. We need your immediate help to slow community spread of the virus. In this open letter – signed by Dr. Michael Waldrum, CEO of Vidant Health and dean of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University – and more than 50 health care leaders state-wide, the case is made clear, along with a reminder as to what you can do to help. #HelpUsENC – we need every one of you: ncha.org/2022/01/an-open-letter-to-north-carolinians-on-working-together-to-defeat-covid-19
