GREENVILLE, N.C. – Trillium Health Resources acknowledges its selection by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) to serve as the NC ROOTS (Rural Organizations Orchestrating Transformation for Sustainability) Hub Lead for Regions 2 and 5 as part of the state’s Rural Health Transformation Program (NCRHTP).

As part of this statewide initiative, Trillium, along with four other NC ROOTS Hub Leads will help support implementation of the NCRHTP across all 100 counties, advancing efforts to improve access to care for rural communities and strengthen coordination across health care systems.

Over the next five years, NC ROOTS Hubs will support regional and local partners in efforts to strengthen rural health infrastructure through initiatives focused on improving behavioral health and substance use services, enhancing care coordination across regions, leveraging digital tools to improve outcomes, expanding access to primary care, and strengthening the health care workforce.

“At the center of this work are the communities we serve across rural North Carolina,” said Joy Futrell, Chief Executive Officer. “We are honored to support this statewide effort and remain committed to working in close partnership with NCDHHS, providers, and local organizations to strengthen coordinated, community-based care across Regions 2 and 5.”

Trillium will continue to collaborate with state and community partners as implementation efforts move forward, with a focus on supporting continuity of care, strengthening regional coordination, and ensuring access to high-quality services for members and families.
