North Carolina Citizens for Public Health, Inc.

Promote public health for the benefit of the citizens of NC by increasing citizen involvement in all phases of public health. Thus NCCPH was born.

North Carolina Citizens for Public Health (NCCPH) is a 501(c)(3) organization that is an outgrowth of a 1976 Citizens' Conference on Public Health. Conference participants expressed a strong need for citizen participation in public health and recommended the formation of a group or organization to promote citizens' involvement. Our Purpose:
1. Promote public health for the benefit of the citizens

of the State of North Carolina by increasing citizen involvement in all phases of public health.
2. Identify and clarify the role of public health agencies.
3. Help citizens better understand, support and utilize the resources available or needed. What NCCPH Offers Public Health:
1. Statewide membership along with statewide professional affiliations.
2. Citizen representation on public health issues with policy makers.
3. Presentation of public health information to policy makers at all levels of government.
4. Support for public health training programs and students including practical experience opportunities.
5. Sounding board for public health programs.

Good News from STAT:
Americans trust Fauci more than RFK Jr.
Americans have more confidence and trust in professional health associations and career scientists at federal health agencies compared to the political appointees who lead them, according to a new survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

The survey, conducted in February among 1,650 U.S. adults, had several notable findings. Two-thirds of respondents said they have confidence in career scientists working at U.S. federal health agencies, compared with 43% who have confidence in agency leaders.

Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, ranked more favorably in the public’s eyes than both health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

When it comes to reliable health information, Americans are more confident in federal health agencies' career scientists than their leaders.
