Medicaid and NC Health Choice are vital programs for the well-being of North Carolina’s children, serving around 40% of all children in our state. Together with parents and caregivers, NC Child constantly works to improve and protect these critical programs.
NC Child’s Parent Advisory Council is an advocacy group of parents and caregivers from across the state whose children rely on Medicaid for their health care. The goal of the Parent Advisory Council is to ensure that the true experts on Medicaid and NC Health Choice have a say in how these critical programs work for North Carolina’s children.
NC Child’s Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is comprised of a dedicated group of parents and caregivers from across North Carolina, whose children depend on Medicaid for their healthcare needs. The PAC was formed with the primary goal of ensuring that those most knowledgeable about Medicaid namely, the parents and caregivers who navigate these programs daily have a significant voice in how they are administered. The PAC is continuously seeking proactive, dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the healthcare landscape of North Carolina. If you are a parent or caregiver whose child benefits from Medicaid, and you are interested in advocating for children’s health rights, consider joining the PAC. Your involvement can help ensure that our children’s health and well-being remain at the forefront of policy discussions and decisions.

Expanding Medicaid will offer healthcare coverage to over 600,000 residents of North Carolina. However, for this initiative to be successful, it’s important that North Carolinians are aware of who is eligible and how to apply. To help with this, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has developed a toolkit that is available in both English and Spanish, which provides step-by-step guidance through the application process.
