Tar Heal Tuesday - Department of Family Medicine

Tuesday, November 29th is #TarHealTuesday 2022! We’re happy to feature a couple of our programs that directly improve the lives of patients. Please give if you can!

NC FIT Program

The NC Formerly Incarcerated Transition (NC FIT) Program, an evidence-based program that leverages existing state and local resources to assist formerly incarcerated people suffering from chronic disease, mental illness and/or substance use disorder with all aspects of successful re-entry, and importantly, access to essential medical services.

The UNC Tobacco Treatment and Weight Management Programs

Since 2008, the UNC Tobacco Treatment Program (formerly the Nicotine Dependence Program) at Family Medicine has provided leadership for implementing comprehensive tobacco use treatment services, education and training, and dissemination of resources for promoting tobacco-free communities.

Since its inception in 2015, the UNC Family Medicine Weight Management Program has offered behavioral counseling to help people with greater risk for weight-related health problems lose weight, lead healthier lives and maximize their well-being.
