About the NCMS Business Alliance
The NCMS Business Alliance brings together North Carolina's business and health care communities in an innovative collaboration to improve the lives, and livelihood, of all North Carolinians. As a solutions-oriented organization, the NCMS seeks partners like you to join us in our work to ensure a healthy North Carolina.
Together We Can Achieve a Healthy NC
Data reveals that, sadly we have much more work to do to improve the health of North Carolina's population. NCMS physician and PA members are committed to improving health and to addressing health disparities wherever they exist — between urban and rural communities as well as with historically marginalized groups.
As you know, an unhealthy workforce is a drag on the economy and the productivity and potential of your business. We also know a healthy community depends on more than just visiting a doctor. Safe housing, regular access to nutritious food, robust employment opportunities, strong educational institutions and reliable transportation to get to school, work or to visit a health clinic when necessary all contribute to healthy individuals and economically vibrant communities. The NCMS sees that broader picture and is committed to collaborating across sectors to bring about positive change.
To achieve lasting change, a coordinated effort is essential. The NCMS Business Alliance is designed to bring together the key players in the business and health care communities as critical change agents to improve conditions in our state that affect health, and ultimately improve the bottom line for businesses.
How Does the Business Alliance Work?
Increasingly consumers and employees expect companies to be good corporate citizens by investing in a larger, common purpose. To demonstrate their commitment to the greater good, companies often align with non-profits and the causes they support. The NCMS' mission is to "enhance the health of North Carolinians." By aligning with the NCMS as a Business Alliance member, you become an integral part of that mission.
