Stakeholder Participation Opportunities

Organizations, employers, healthcare stakeholders, community leaders, and institutions across North Carolina continue expressing interest in conversations surrounding healthcare access, workforce sustainability, patient access, healthcare infrastructure, and long-term community healthcare challenges.

Communities throughout the state — particularly rural and underserved areas — continue navigating growing pressures related to provider shortages, workforce recruitment, hospital sustainability, increasing care demand, operational strain, and long-term healthcare delivery capacity.

As these conversations continue evolving, organizations and community stakeholders may choose to participate in different ways depending on their mission, organizational priorities, and community role.

This resource section was developed to provide flexible participation pathways and informational resources for organizations interested in supporting constructive, community-focused conversations surrounding healthcare workforce sustainability, patient access, and long-term healthcare infrastructure across North Carolina.

Participation opportunities may include:

• informational engagement
• stakeholder discussions
• sharing workforce or operational perspectives
• helping elevate local healthcare realities
• community-focused dialogue
• connecting additional stakeholders where appropriate

Participation does not require formal endorsement of any specific policy proposal, legislative language, or organizational position.

The downloadable resources on this page are intended to support thoughtful, flexible engagement among organizations and stakeholders interested in healthcare access, workforce sustainability, and long-term community healthcare needs across North Carolina.
