We are proud to announce the recognition of one of our own, M. Kathryn Menard, MD, MPH, who has been selected by the Board of the North Carolina Institute of Medicine (NCIOM) to become a member of the organization, an honor intended to recognize the work of leaders in health care and public health across North Carolina.
The NCIOM was chartered by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1983 to serve as a non-political source of information and analysis on major health issues facing the state. The NCIOM informs and shapes health policy by identifying evidence-based solutions to North Carolina’s health challenges and working collaboratively with stakeholders from across the state to identify and build consensus around actionable solutions.
Membership in the NCIOM provides an opportunity to connect with colleagues also working to advance the health of North Carolinians. Their new 2023 members will be joining a prestigious group of over 150 North Carolinians who serve our state as healthcare providers, community health leaders, researchers, educators, policymakers, and business leaders.
