The Division of Public Health has developed various websites to meet the needs of North Carolina residents, as well as those living outside the "Tar Heel State." The servers housed at the State Center for Health Statistics, are home to some of those websites. Each site offers different types of information to the public - meaning you!

State Center for Health Statistics

The State Center provides access to high quality health data and statistical publications being used to make decisions and set policies that influence the health of our citizens and their communities.

Epidemiology in North Carolina

Epidemiology is the section of public health that works to understand the causes and effects of disease in communities. We look for ways to prevent or control those diseases and their negative effects on people and society.

Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities

The Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities (OMHHD) and the Minority Health Advisory Council (MHAC) strive to bridge the health status gap between racial/ ethnic minorities and the general population by advocating for policies and programs that improve access to public health services for racial/ethnic and underserved populations in the state of North Carolina.
