North Carolina ROOTS Survey
What is the NC ROOTS Project and how can you be involved?
Earlier this year, North Carolina received a $213 million grant to transform rural health services. The Rural Organizations Orchestrating Transformation for Sustainability (ROOTS) initiative provides a critical opportunity to improve the lives of those living in rural North Carolina.
Trillium Health Resources was selected to serve as the hub lead for our region, and we need your help. Your voice will directly help us identify:
- Community Needs: Where care is lacking most.
- Service Gaps: Programs or resources that are missing.
