NC Initiatives
Global Public Health, Radiology, and Health Equity
Global health includes issues that transcend national boundaries, like cancer, and that require worldwide, multidisciplinary cooperation — so our partnerships have a Local to Global approach. We have active health equity programs in North Carolina and with international collaborators. As part of the rich, longstanding tradition of UNC community engagement and service, our efforts align with the vision of UNC Health and promote the university’s aims within the Carolina Next strategic plan.
Our Approach
In North Carolina, we seek
- to understand access barriers for the people of North Carolina and the surrounding region and
- to create systems-level solutions that deliver more equitable care for all. We strive to optimize our own processes within the UNC Department of Radiology, and we work with local community partners to increase engagement through education.
