A Stop on the Extra Miles Tour

Leaders at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) set out on a 10,877-mile statewide “Extra Miles Tour” in 2021 with the ambitious goal of visiting all 100 counties across the state to meet with those going the extra mile to improve the health and well-being of their communities.

The team visited with NCAFCC officials and clinic staff at Community Health Services of Union County, and last November a video crew came to NCAFCC headquarters in Charlotte to record the unveiling of our new mobile dental clinic and interview CEO April Cook.

ICYMI, here’s a link to the video Blue Cross NC posted on Facebook a few months ago with the message: “One in 10 North Carolinians don’t have access to care. That’s why we’re proud to support April and the N.C. Association of Free and Charitable Clinics in helping people across the state get the primary care they need to be healthy.”

We’re grateful for this longtime partnership, which allows free and charitable clinics to pursue their mission of providing access to quality health care for all regardless of ability to pay.

Thank you, Blue Cross NC!
