Bill > H888

This bill appropriates $1 million in nonrecurring funds from the General Fund to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Public Health for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The funds will be provided as a directed grant to the North Carolina Community Health Worker Association, a nonprofit organization, to support its efforts in mobilizing, training, and certifying community health workers for the state's workforce. Community health workers are typically trained professionals who act as liaisons between healthcare systems and local communities, helping to improve health outcomes by providing education, support, and connections to medical services. The bill specifies that the funding will become effective on July 1, 2025, and is intended to help the association continue its work in developing and supporting this important healthcare workforce segment.
