North Carolina Health News is an independent, not-for-profit, statewide news organization dedicated to covering health care in North Carolina employing the highest journalistic standards of fairness, accuracy and extensive research
We were founded in response to the decrease in health reporters around the state. We were founded because we believe that to make the best decisions about their health care and about the state’s health care system, the citizens of North Carolina need the best information possible.
NCHN has become the premiere source for health reporting in North Carolina. We have a staff of 7 reporters (who add up to 4 full time people), an editor and a development director. We grew about 50 percent last year - staff, revenue and readership - and we're poised to grow further.
