Below is a list of North Carolina agencies other than the N.C. Immunization Branch which have information on health care issues.
The North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics
SCHS is responsible for data collection, health-related research, production of reports, and maintenance of a comprehensive collection of health statistics.
North Carolina Epidemiology Section
Epidemiology is the section of public health that works to understand the causes and effects of disease in communities. The section looks for ways to prevent or control those diseases and their negative effects on people and society. Epidemiologists study the factors and relationships that determine the presence, numbers, trends and distribution of diseases in communities and certain populations.
North Carolina Communicable Disease Branch
The Communicable Disease Branch investigates, monitors and communicates information about disease outbreaks and implements control measures to minimize further transmission of disease.
