The system is broke, and this report demonstrates that.

The thoroughness of this report demonstrates just how serious we are about addressing this incident and providing assurance to our trading partners that our system is among the best in the world. I believe our actions fully address the facts that led to this incident and provide added protections on a broader scale to prevent similar problems in the future.

The North Carolina Medical Society Foundation is very proud of the work of the Community Practitioner Program in addressing the issue of access to health care for vulnerable North Carolinians. Since its inception, the program has become an integral part of the safety net in our state.
