  3. How Did We Get Here? NC Health Care 2012 Forum: Hosted by GSK, panel discussions moderated by NC SPIN that focused on key NC health care questions - What do we value most and on what can we agree? - What are the innovations, new ideas, best practices to consider? - Who’s responsible for health care and improved health? Outcome: Health care and community leaders agreed – we should not let the dialogue stop here. Launch a public health education and engagement campaign to encourage healthier North Carolinians. A Healthier NC™

  4. NC Health Care: A State of Crisis? United Health Foundation – America’s Health Rankings 2012 • A History of Bad Health: • NC consistently ranks in bottom third nationally • Rank 33 in 2012 / Rank 35 in 2011 Core Health Measurement Rankings: Obesity 34 Physical Inactivity 31 Lack of Health Insurance 42 Low Birthweight44 Diabetes 42 Cardiovascular Deaths 32 Cancer Deaths 33 Premature Death 37 Infant Mortality 46 Most of these rankings can be improved through lifestyle modification – living healthier lives. A Healthier NC™

  5. What is “A Healthier NC”? 1946 A Healthier NC is today’s Good Health Plan. In 1945, North Carolina Governor Mel Broughton spearheaded a statewide effort designed to relieve the acute shortage of doctors and nurses in North Carolina and improve the health of North Carolinians. Passing legislation to fund the effort required public support, so state leaders organized a public relations campaign for what they called The Good Health Plan. This campaign funded badly needed hospitals in underserved rural areas, adding 7,200 more hospital beds. It also served as a catalyst for the establishment of the first four-year, state-supported medical school and teaching hospital at UNC. Fast forward 60 years and North Carolina still ranks among the bottom third in state health rankings. Approximately 28 percent of our adult population is obese, 10 percent of our adult population is diabetic. North Carolina also ranks 11th in the nation for childhood obesity, a disturbing indicator of future chronic disease. A Healthier NC was created with the purpose of addressing these and other NC health challenges as the Campaign for Good Health did in 1946. Everyone plays a role in shaping A Healthier NC. 2012 A Healthier NC™
