Lawmakers agree North Carolina has a maternal health crisis. So why are reforms stalling?

By Skye Crawford and Ashley Fredde The crisis is measurable. Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, and bias or discrimination was identified as a contributing factor in 70 percent of North Carolina maternal deaths, per the state’s own 2024 review committee. Solutions exist and have proven results, but keep stalling in legislative committees....

Survey: Staff say school-based telehealth cuts behavioral issues

By Jennifer Fernandez Key takeaways Early survey data from nearly 300 North Carolina schools shows that staff at schools that offer behavioral telehealth are reporting reductions in student behavioral challenges and disruptions compared with schools without the service. Access gaps are still a challenge, with about a third of schools reporting students wait longer than a month to get behavioral telehealth services after referral....

The Power of Offering Alternatives: a true end-of-life story

How might we help a sick older person have a better end-of-life experience? Planning for future health crises and end-of-life situations — a process known as advance care planning — is certainly important. But, not every health crisis can be completely planned for. And it’s often hard, in the moment, for family members and doctors to figure out how to honor a person’s wishes. ...

EPA’s PFAS retreat is ‘a slap in the face,’ NC advocate says

By Will Atwater Two years ago, Emily Donovan stood on a stage in Fayetteville and introduced then-EPA Administrator Michael Regan.

Could technology stop repeat speeders? Some NC lawmakers think so.

By Jaymie Baxley Matt Simpson was on a bicycle ride with his wife and two young children when a Volkswagen Jetta barreled through a crosswalk near their Durham home in July 2022. The car, which was traveling at nearly twice the posted speed limit, struck Simpson, who died from his injuries at a local hospital. “Matt was brilliant and creative,” his widow, Allison Simpson, said in testimony to state lawmakers last week at the North Carolina General Assembly in Raleigh....

Atrium land deal clears way for 1,200 homes

Kidney Disease in Aging: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Have you been told that you — or an older person you care about — has kidney disease? If so, you’re not alone: kidney disease is very common in older adults. Almost everyone’s kidney function declines at least a little with aging, with actual chronic kidney disease affecting an estimated 35% of people over age 65. It’s also fairly common for older adults to develop an “acute kidney injury,” which means the kidneys suddenly start working less well....

Federal curveball upends NC’s plans for Medicaid work rule

By Jaymie Baxley North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services waited nearly a year for federal guidance on implementing the Medicaid work requirement approved by congressional Republicans last summer. The mandate, passed in the summer of 2025 as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, takes effect on Jan. 1. It will force many of the more than 750,000 adults who became eligible through the state’s expansion of the government-funded health insurance program to prove they are working, volunteering or attending school for at least 80 hours a month to retain their coverage. ...

Dog deaths at Swannanoa boarding facility point to holes in NC animal welfare protections

By Skye Crawford Morgan Glenn parted from her dogs for the first time in nearly two years this spring when she went on a 10-day trip to visit family in Europe. Since they could not come with her, she boarded her pets at a familiar place — Inner Knowing Canine Connections in Swannanoa.
