The House Select Committee on Involuntary Commitment and Public Safety formed after the passage of Iryna’s Law late last year…...

Helene exposed cracks in western NC’s health care safety net

By Will Atwater Tropical Storm Helene’s impact on western North Carolina was felt acutely in the days, weeks and months after the storm, including in the region’s hospitals and clinics. New research shows how pregnant patients and people with anxiety and other health issues turned to emergency departments for treatment when primary care practices were closed. That influx created new pressures on hospitals…...

Financial Exploitation in Aging: What to Know & What to Do

Here’s an upsetting situation that comes up a lot, and may have come up for you: is someone financially taking advantage of Mom or Dad? It’s a pretty legitimate concern to have. To begin with, most people know that there are plenty of “scammers” out there, phoning or mailing older adults with deceptive information designed to hoodwink them out of some of their savings....

New report highlights hurdles to Iryna’s Law implementation

By Rachel Crumpler A new preliminary report from a state-funded research group identifies “key pressure points that need to be addressed” to fully implement Iryna’s Law, which passed quickly late last year. The report also outlines some initial recommendations for lawmakers to help address existing gaps in North Carolina’s mental health and criminal justice systems. The 37-page report, provided to state lawmakers on April 1, drew input from more than 20 stakeholder groups, including state agencies and professional associations....

9 things The Pitt gets right, according to North Carolina ER workers

By Michelle Crouch When Dr. Jennifer Casaletto’s kids started watching The Pitt last year, her 14-year-old son had a question: Which one are you? “I’m Doctor Robby,” she told him, referencing the attending physician played by Noah Wyle who oversees the chaotic emergency room in the hit HBO TV drama. She said his jaw dropped: “That’s what you do??”...

Drone warfare has dramatically changed the battlefield. Is the US medical corps ready?

By Lisa M. Krieger The War Horse On a serene Saturday afternoon, thousands of miles from conflict, soldiers with the California Air National Guard are scattered among stations, hunched over a buddy. Some apply tourniquets. Others practice life-saving skills, checking for breathing, tilting chins to clear airways, searching for blood loss and hidden wounds. This is how they learn to keep a soldier alive....

EPA launches a ‘back-to-basics’ blueprint to help rural drinking water systems

By Claire Carlson The Daily Yonder The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched a technical assistance program for water infrastructure in early March 2026 designed to help rural communities update and repair aging water utilities and get into compliance with federal regulations. The program, called the Real Water Technical Assistance (RealWaterTA) initiative, rescinds a Biden-era memorandum that the Trump administration criticized for prioritizing storytelling and climate change mitigation projects rather than practical water infrastructure updates that could be more applicable to rural communities. ...

Age-Related Hearing Loss (Presbycusis): What to Know & What to Do

Have you noticed that an older relative seems to be having trouble hearing you at times? Or perhaps you’ve realized that sometimes YOU are the one saying “What?” These situations are extremely common. Sometimes the issue is that one is trying to communicate in a noisy place and there is no need for concern. But in many cases, these kinds of issues can indicate that an older person (or even a middle-aged person) is being affected by age-related hearing loss....

Despite resource strains, NC presses forward on efforts to boost support for those leaving incarceration

By Rachel Crumpler Every day, people leave North Carolina prisons and return to the community — more than 18,000 people this year alone. For many, rebuilding their lives after incarceration is fraught with barriers to basic needs like housing, employment and health care. Those challenges took center stage in Raleigh April 7 at the North Carolina Rehabilitation and Reentry Conference…...

Rural hospitals face federal funding cuts, look to NC lawmakers for support

Despite its relatively small size, FirstHealth has racked up awards for quality and high marks for patient satisfaction — ranking in the top 10 percent nationwide for outstanding patient experience for the past 18 years, based on…...

North Carolina tackles toxic firefighting foam — and what it left behind

By Will Atwater Within months of becoming chief of Double Creek Volunteer Fire and Rescue in November 2025, Jimmy Brown received sobering news: His station’s well water was contaminated with PFAS at levels that exceeded federal limits. The station in Pinnacle, northwest of Winston‑Salem near Pilot Mountain, is one of 392 rural fire departments across the state whose wells were tested for PFAS in a recent study....

How to Plan for Decline in Alzheimer’s Dementia:A 5-Step Approach to Navigating Difficult Decisions & Crises with Less Stress

Q: My mother is 76 and has Alzheimer’s disease. She had a couple of unavoidable stays last year in the hospital (due to falls). This accelerated her decline due to delirium, which was treated as if she was just being an unruly and difficult patient. Once my sister and I understood what was going on due to this site’s information, we have been able to protect and support her....
