The Selection Process for Emerging Champions of Change in NC Medicine
The following statewide organizations solicited creative, effective candidates through their extensive networks.
The North Carolina Institute of Medicine is an independent, non-profit organization that serves as a non-political source of health policy analysis and advice in North Carolina. The NC General Assembly chartered the NC IOM in 1983 to provide balanced, nonpartisan information on complex and often controversial health issues in our state.
The mission of the North Carolina AHEC Program is to meet the state's health and health workforce needs by providing educational programs in partnership with academic institutions, healthcare agencies, and other organizations committed to improving the health of the people of North Carolina.
North Carolina's 2010 Health Objectives set out a comprehensive and ambitious statewide agenda that provides a direction for improving the health and well being of North Carolinians over the next decade. In 1999, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr., appointed the Governor's Task Force for Healthy Carolinians through an Executive Order. A major assignment of the Governor's Task Force for Healthy Carolinians was to develop a list of health objectives for the Year 2010.
CRITERIA and PROCESS
A one-page nomination form was sent to these organizations and they were asked to e-mail it to their membership. All forms were compiled and sent to a review committee who identified the finalists to be featured on the UNC-TV Web site during the broadcast of the national series. When programming featuring medicine permits, these "Emerging Champions for Change in North Carolina" may also be panelists on UNC-TV health related programming.
We asked each of the organization to select and nominate two champions from each of their regions.
