NC Chapter wins ACC Chapter Recognition Award for Excellence in Transformation of Care

The NC Chapter ACC is proud of our new program, “Improving Cardiovascular Care in NC Free and Charitable Clinics”, a monitored grant from the NC Chapter ACC to the NC Free Clinics for provision of meds with follow-up compliance and outcomes over one year’s time.

This 2016 pilot study will enable 7 free and charitable clinics in North Carolina to provide clopidogrel and statin medications for their patients for a period of one year. These clinics were chosen by the NC Free and Charitable Clinic Association because: a) they represent a diversity of geographic location and size, b) all have an electronic pharmacy records (which will enable tracking results) and c) all dispense medications on site. The clinics are ABCCM (Asheville), The CARE Clinic (Fayetteville), Community Clinic of High Point, HealthReach Community Care Clinic (Mooresville), Community Care Center (Boone), Good Samaritan Clinic (Morganton) and A Store House for Jesus (Mocksville). 

To determine the success of this program, the NC Free Clinic Association will track various outcomes and measures with monthly reports to the NC Chapter.
