About this program

healthcare access and strengthen community connections to positively impact health outcomes for all residents in North Carolina, specifically in rural communities.

The program's Digital Health and Technology Initiative is in partnership between the NC Department of Health and Human Services, the NC Department of Information Technology's Division of Broadband and Digital Opportunity and United Way of North Carolina's NC 211 program, which already provides multilingual, 24/7 digital navigation support.

When residents contact NC 211 regarding the program, they're connected with a dedicated Digital Health Navigator for personalized, one-on-one training on essential digital health skills. This consists of completing digital health skills assessments and connecting residents to in-person digital health literacy support.

The program will empower residents to more fully access care online and participate in the rapidly advancing digital world.
