American Heart Association
In late February, the American Heart Association and Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC (BCBS of NC) released a call for mini-grants for communities to implement their ideas to promote heart health in the Triangle (Wake, Durham, and Orange counties), Triad (Guilford and Forsyth counties), and Charlotte (Mecklenburg, Gaston, and Union counties). With the increased community needs due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are increasing the mini-grant investment for each of the communities.
We have therefore extended the grant deadline to Monday, April 6 to accommodate ADDITIONAL requests, ranging from $2,500 – $10,000 to support heart healthy policies and environments focusing specifically on COVID-19 relief.
Individuals or community organizations which have already submitted applications are welcome to submit an additional COVID-19 focused application.
To apply and for more information, interested partners should visit the application website or contact Annie.Thornhill@heart.org for more information.
During these challenging times, our hearts are with the people in our communities, state, nation, and world. We are grateful to all of our partners who are diligently working to keep our communities safe and healthy. Let us all remember to be patient, loving, and kind as we work to ensure those who are most vulnerable in our communities are not harmed. May we all be healthy, safe, and free from suffering.

**This is a non-exhaustive list of the resources shared at CJA. It is a snapshot only.**
In North Carolina, Care Share Health Alliance and Community Food Strategies are partnering to strengthen the relationships between Collaborative Networks and Food Councils to address food as a social determinant of health with the ultimate goal to improve the health and quality of life for North Carolinians.
State-Level Partners
Care Share’s mission is collaborating for health equity. The core work is to support Collaborative Networks across the state. Community Food Strategies works to empower local food councils and networks to create community-led collaboration and equitable policy change at the local, state, and national level. The ultimate vision is an equitable food system that is community driven and improves the quality of life for all.
Community-Level Partners
A Collaborative network is an entity comprised of multiple state or local partners who integrate medical, preventative, community, social, and economic resources to achieve collective outcomes through a coordinated system of care. The purpose of the networks is to bring healthcare resources to those who don’t have access to healthcare with the overall vision to improve the health of the underserved.
Food councils are community-based coalitions, often but not always organized by county, that help promote more resilient food systems. Councils build connections across stakeholders and collaborate to improve health, food access, natural resource protection, economic development, and production agriculture for all its community’s residents. Using this cross-sector approach, food councils solve broad food system issues and give communities more control over the food they consume.
There are 19 collaborative networks serving 45 counties and over 30 food councils across NC. The map below illustrates where collaborative networks and food councils exist. There are many opportunities for collaborative networks and food councils to support each other especially in the counties where both are existing.
Understanding Food as a Component of Health
Food is an essential component of health for all people. Nutrition and unhealthy diet are risk factors for several chronic diseases including heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In North Carolina diseases of the heart are the second leading cause of death and diabetes is the 7th. Almost 829,000 adults report having been diagnosed with diabetes by a health care professional (NC State Center for Health Statistics, 2015).
Food insecurity is a major public health problem that impacts many people in our country and state. Food insecurity is not having access or affordability to food on a regular basis. Frequently used words to describe food insecurity include hunger, malnutrition, and food deserts. According to the 2016 fact sheet Hunger in the Tarheel State, North Carolina has the 8th highest rate of food insecurity in the nation. 81% of people receiving food assistance don’t know where their next meal is coming from. 73% of people receiving food assistance have had to choose between paying for food or health care or medicine (Hunger in North Carolina). There are many opportunities to create a better food system to improve the health and quality of life for people in North Carolina.
Opportunities for Partnerships to Improve Health between Collaborative Networks and Food Councils
Encourage partnerships to address food security.
Encourage education to prevent and control chronic diseases.
Encourage access to local, fresh foods.
Encourage policy initiatives to make healthy foods an easy choice.
This is a (non-exhaustive) list of policies that support food and health.

On behalf of the Care Share Health Alliance Board of Directors, we wish Kellan a fond farewell and thank her for nearly nine years of leadership and service! Under her guidance, Care Share grew from an idea to a respected organization collaborating on both the state and local level to bring health equity to NC residents. Kellan’s passion for creating an equitable and healthy environment for all will carry over to her new role as President & CEO of John Rex Endowment. Congratulations, Kellan!
The Care Share Health Alliance Board has unanimously chosen Linda Kinney, former Care Share Deputy Executive Director, to serve as the organization’s next Executive Director effective July 15. Linda shared her vision for Care Share with the Board, stating, “Working to improve the health of under-resourced people in NC has been my passion throughout my career. I am fully committed to this mission because I believe that all people deserve to be happy and healthy, regardless of how much money they have, what they look like or where they come from. I could not be more grateful to be able to bring my personal and work visions together with this opportunity to lead Care Share.” Congratulations, Linda! We look forward to the future under your leadership.
Donna Elliott, Care Share Health Alliance Board of Directors Chair
A Message From Linda Kinney Our New Executive Director
I have been honored to work with Kellan, the Care Share staff, the Collaborative Networks and the Care Share Board for the past nine years. Through our work, we’ve seen more communities come together to leverage resources and build capacity to improve access to care through Collaborative Networks. We’ve seen research emerge confirming what safety net providers have always known, that healthcare is critical but not enough. We’ve worked with partners at the state and local levels to enroll people in health insurance options, with one new option made possible through the Affordable Care Act. We’ve seen people with the very lowest incomes left out of these options. Now we are nervously waiting to see what the fate of those options will be. We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know that if we want to improve health, we must continue to collaborate locally, regionally and statewide. We must continue to integrate medical, preventative, community, social, and economic resources. We must work together to assure that everyone has the same opportunity to be healthy. There are challenging times ahead and I have no doubt that communities, safety net organizations, funders and individuals across NC are ready to meet those challenges. I hope you will join Care Share in this work and help us achieve our vision that communities are healthy and committed to health equity for all.
Linda Kinney, Care Share Health Alliance Executive Director

In addition to working for Care Share, I’m an instructor for the LiveStrong program at the Taylor Family YMCA. This is a free program for anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer. The program provides a gateway into getting back into an active lifestyle in addition to elements of a support group. This is my way of helping others get healthy and is particularly important to me after losing a younger sister to cancer.

The consortium must include at least 3 health care providers and other key stakeholders like social services agencies, faith-based communities and law enforcement.
The closing date is July 27th and there is $3 million available in funding. Please share with your local partners.
NC Get Covered would like to bid a heartfelt farewell to Enroll America, North Carolina’s leader in ACA outreach and education for more than four years now. On August 11, Enroll America NC will close its doors, leaving an indelible mark on our state.
Enroll America staff, under the leadership of Sorien Schmidt, has gone above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that North Carolinians were knowledgeable about the ACA, their eligibility, and how to obtain and properly use their insurance. From co-chairing and emceeing the 2016 In-Person Assister Conference (Mark Van Arnam, NC Deputy State Director); creating a toolkit for faith communities to engage in ACA outreach and enrollment activities (Angela Cameron, Deputy Regional Director); connecting Latino organizations to local ACA resources (Joyce Gamarra, Deputy Regional Director – Latino Outreach); helping outreach and enrollment organizations stay focused and on message during uncertain times (Lovemore Masakadza, Communications Director); and giving health care in our state a face by using pictures and data to tell the consumer’s story (Sorien Schmidt, State Director) – Enroll America has played a critical role in North Carolina’s outreach and enrollment success. Thank you for your partnership! You will be missed!
– Willona Stallings, Director, NC Get Covered
Below is the final newsletter from Enroll America, a recognized leader in ACA outreach and education both nationally and in our state. Enroll America NC will close its doors in August of this year, and the void that will be left behind once they are gone cannot be measured or adequately expressed with words. Please join Care Share Health Alliance in thanking Enroll America for their hard work, dedication, leadership and, most importantly, their partnership these past four years!

Tell us a little bit about your organization.
Active Living By Design (ALBD) advances community-led action with evidence-informed, practice-based strategies to ensure health and well-being for all. We are strategic thoughtful partners for developing inclusive, cohesive, and resilient community health initiatives focused on equity. We believe in the power of people to shape their communities into healthier places to live. At local, regional, state, and national scales, we help communities turn effort into action by honoring and amplifying their unique contexts, cultures, and assets. Drawing on our experience working with hundreds of communities, we ensure that investments of time, energy, and funding lead to a sustained culture of health and well-being.
Explain your partnership with Care Share in 3-5 sentences.
We partner with Care Share to support the Community Centered Health (CCH) Initiative of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. The initiative aims to advance prevention and improve population health in North Carolina through collaborative efforts by community members and the health care and community-based organizations that serve them. As an integrated team with Care Share, we’ve provided training, coaching, “action learning”, and a learning network for NC-based communities experimenting with CCH approaches. Our joint work emphasizes: community capacity building with a strong emphasis on community engagement and resident leadership development, a shift in clinical practice to emphasize social determinants of health and integrate with community improvement efforts, and policy, environmental and systems approaches to sustainable community change.
What inspires or motivates you/your organization to partner with Care Share?
We’ve learned a lot about the health care safety net in NC from Care Share, and Linda Kinney has been a skilled, flexible, reliable and fun partner throughout our almost three years working together. Since our values overlap a lot and our skills are complementary, we’d love to find more health equity and clinical-community coordination projects to work on together in the future.
On March 24th 2017, the health care bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act was withdrawn because there was not enough support for the bill to pass. Speaker Paul Ryan said “Obamacare is the law of the land and this will be the case for the foreseeable future.”
It’s more important than ever for us to educate consumers about the ACA and enroll them into coverage both during the current Special Enrollment Period and next Open Enrollment Period in order to counter the message that the ACA is in a death spiral. We want the ACA to succeed in order to ensure health insurance coverage for North Carolinians who need it the most.

As Executive Director, Kellan is responsible for the overall strategic direction, management, fundraising and evaluation of Care Share Health Alliance. She spends more than half of her time working in partnership with local communities to improve access to care and health coverage for our uninsured neighbors.
What do you enjoy about your position with Care Share?
I really enjoy facilitating strategic planning processes, public speaking and sharing the great impact collaborative networks are having across the state. I’ve been fortunate to work with an amazing board and staff to create programs, policies and approaches that leverage resources, supports our collective learning, and fosters collaboration with the goal of achieving health equity for all.
What inspires you about your work with Care Share?
Our commitment to building on local assets and creating programs and approaches that improve health at the individual and community levels. I really think people just want to be healthy so they can work and care for their families. I believe our collective work helps people live more productive, healthy and happy lives. In the process, I’m afforded the opportunity to meet amazing people from different sectors, build partnerships, and learn from their wisdom and expertise. I’m always inspired by the people I get to meet and their commitment to doing this important work as well as the volunteer spirit of the providers who donate their time and services to care for uninsured people living in their communities. I’ve also been inspired by the more 280 community based organizations who participate in the NC Get Covered Coalition and are working so hard to get and keep people covered through the ACA.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Stay connected to friends and family, travel, try new restaurants, wine tastings, hike, bike, read and watch movies. And, I love an afternoon nap on the weekends.
What have you been reading or watching lately?
Hillbilly Elegy, by JD Vance and The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown. I love to watch Madam Secretary and all of the NCIS shows.
Have you been on any recent, meaningful trips?
I turned 50 last year, so I’ve had a wonderful year of travel from Napa Valley to Paris, France, and many places in between. I love living in NC because I get to visit the mountains and the beaches, and all great places in between, while traveling to meet with communities.
Do you have a favorite quote or poem?

Megan serves as the Program Coordinator for Care Share. In her role, Megan provides facilitation and technical assistance to Collaborative Networks and Models across the state. She collects and disseminates best practices to help improve processes and outcomes for Collaborative Networks and Models. She leads communication efforts for Care Share.
What inspires you about your work with Care Share?
I love hearing the stories from Collaborative Networks about helping patients receive health care and services that have improved their health and their quality of life. I am inspired about moving our work with communities to address social determinants of health at a large scale. I like creating processes for people to come together and help them move toward a goal or outcome.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I love spending time outdoors- hiking, kayaking, swimming- just being in the woods! I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, dogs and ducks. I love traveling from short weekend trips to extended international trips. I am engaged in my community through active participation with my town’s parks and recreation advisory board and my church’s mission team.
Have you been on any recent, meaningful trips?
Yes! I find meaning in every trip that I go on- it’s hard for me to choose just one! Most recently I have traveled with my boyfriend to Colorado. We hiked in The Rocky Mountain National Park, Gilpin Lake Trail, Fish Creek Falls- it was absolutely beautiful! We visited with close friends, explored local towns, went to a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater and most importantly shared a lot of laughs and happy moments.
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” ~Jawaharial Nehru
What’s New?
Care Share has adopted a new vision and mission statement. Our new vision is “Communities are healthy and committed to health equity for all.” Our new mission is “Collaborating for health equity.” We have also updated our guiding values which now includes looking at our work through a lens of intersectionality.
The new strategic plan has two new priorities areas. We will Engage in Social Determinants of Health (SDH) to Promote Health Equity. Care Share will primarily engage in SDH by serving as a neutral convener to help state and local partners align with groups who have a focus on addressing SDH needs at the community or systems level, and help Collaborative Networks and models connect into existing or emerging initiatives. We will also share best/[promising practices emerging from the field.
Care Share will Optimize Opportunities through Health Reform. Care Share will serve as a resource and neutral convener around the coordination and delivery of care in changing systems associated with health reforms, and the issues and opportunities impacting underserved people to improve their health. Care Share will continue to serve as the backbone organization/fiscal home for NC Get Covered Coalition of 280 organizations leading the implementation of outreach, education and enrollment functions.
Our Core Work Continues
Care Share will continue to focus our work on Strengthening and Developing Collaborative Networks and Models. Care Share’s Technical Assistance (TA) team helps develop Collaborative Networks and Models that:
Care Share’s “strengthening” TA services for Collaborative Networks and models include the following:
Care Share will also continue to Diversify funding for Care Share, Collaborative Networks and Models. Care Share will diversify and expand funding by cultivating relationships with county, state, regional, and national funders, investors, partners and resources, and explore funding opportunities focused on the strategic plan and emerging opportunities that don’t have geographical restrictions. Care Share will continue to increase business opportunities for networks.
Looking forward
We are excited about our future work. We envision new partnerships and collectively moving the work forward to help create healthy, equitable communities!
