‘A calling’: Paid foster parents are changing outcomes for NC children

By Jennifer Fernandez When families are in crisis, foster parents often fill in to provide a safe place for children while parents get their lives together. Traditionally, foster parents were volunteers who received a small monthly stipend to care for these children. But since the pandemic, the state has had a dearth of these volunteer foster parents. That’s part of the reason that, since 2023, North Carolina has been exploring “professional foster parents” as one way to improve the child welfare system....

The heat is rising, and not everyone can afford to cool down

By Will Atwater As extreme heat becomes more common, people on government-paid health plans are more likely than people with private insurance to land in the emergency department with heat‑related illnesses, according to a recent study. The analysis, which drew on claims from more than 44 million insured patients across the country, found that heat waves drove up emergency room visits and costs across all insurance types, with especially sharp increases for patients on publicly paid programs like Medicaid and Medicare....

Mixed federal messages on drug checking leave North Carolina harm reduction programs in limbo

By Taylor Knopf For the third year in a row, drug overdose deaths in the U.S. have trended downward. North Carolina had one of the largest year-over-year decreases — a nearly 29 percent drop in overdose deaths from the end of 2024 to 2025. Substance use experts worry these hard-fought gains could now be in jeopardy as President Donald Trump’s administration chips away at funding for addiction programs and some key evidence-based overdose prevention tools....

6 Steps to Take When Aging Parents Need Help – Even if They’re Resisting

Have you noticed worrisome changes in your aging parent? Maybe they’ve been mostly okay but now you’re seeing problems with memory, such as forgetfulness or asking the same questions repeatedly. Or maybe you’ve noticed trouble with driving, keeping up the house, managing stairs, or paying bills. Some aging parents simply begin to seem more withdrawn. Others start leveling accusations at others, claiming someone took or moved something, or acting paranoid....

New app aims to make it easier for people leaving incarceration to identify resources

By Rachel Crumpler For someone leaving a prison or jail, there are countless questions to answer: about health care, housing, work and relationships. Finding the right support is often difficult, especially when resources are scattered. An app released last week seeks to fill a gap in guidance for the recently incarcerated. Next Steps by RREPS uses artificial intelligence to create personalized reentry plans in just a few minutes by pulling from a verified database of resources maintained by RREPS. ...

Put state health assessment form on your ‘kindergarten to-do’ list

By Jennifer Fernandez Even as one school year is wrapping up, parents of preschoolers should be working on getting their kindergarten students ready for school in the fall. A key recommendation: Schedule a well-child visit and ask your child’s doctor to fill out the North Carolina Health Assessment Transmittal Form, a health assessment document that becomes part of a child’s school record. ...

Trump’s $50B rural health bet meets a healthcare desert in North Carolina

By Sarah Jane Tribble and Amanda Seitz KFF Health News WILLIAMSTON — Two years after her brother’s death, Debra Pierce still wonders whether the 50-year-old would have survived his heart attack if her local hospital hadn’t closed. “The sad thing is we’ll never know if he could have been saved that night or not, because we don’t have a higher level of care in this county,” Pierce said as she stood outside the mobile home where she last hugged her brother....

How Sleep Affects Health, & Changes With Aging

Sleep. Everybody needs it. Many of us don’t get enough of it. These are common truths that almost everyone knows. But a few years ago, I had the opportunity to learn quite a bit more about sleep, and how it affects health. I came away convinced that sleep is a core pillar of health. It deserves more attention from us as doctors, and as individuals concerned about our own health or that of an aging relative....
