NCCARE360 is available in all 100 North Carolina counties and helps electronically connect individuals with needed support. 

Many North Carolinians struggle with food insecurity, housing instability, lack of access to transportation, and other health-related needs every day. NCCARE360, the first statewide coordinated care network, better connects individuals with local services and resources.

The network bridges gaps in a fragmented health and human services system by connecting providers and organizations across sectors through a shared technology platform.

Providers can connect individuals and families who have unmet social needs with community resources electronically. The platform enables easy feedback and follow-up to help close the care loop for individuals and families seeking help.

Firsthand experiences with NCCARE360…

“NCCARE360 will help us elevate the care we provide our patients. High-quality medical care combined with healthy housing and nutritious food are a prescription for good health. NCCARE360 helps us make those connections.” 

— Kathy Colville, Healthy Communities Director, Cone Health

“Through NCCARE360 we connected [a lady whose home was about to be condemned] to another agency and her issue was tracked and resolved within 24 hours. NCCARE360 eliminates unnecessary barriers for the client and the provider. Now the provider can see the services the client was receiving as they deliver care for the same person.”

— Jackie Lucas, Executive Director, Salvation Army of Greensboro Center of Hope

“We made a referral at 10 p.m. and it was accepted at 8 a.m. the next morning. I was so excited to tell our client that she would get the help she needed. I’ve been sharing what NCCARE360 is with everyone because this is an amazing resource. This is really going to help so many people. I hope we get more community members to get onboard because I think it’s phenomenal.”

— Tiffany Joseph, Ministry Assistant at Temple

“Using NCCARE360, we were better able to connect a resident in a crisis situation to services that she needed immediately.”

— Merle Green, Guilford County Health Department
