,@NC_Governor:
"A great workforce requires real investment from cradle to career, and it starts with early childhood education at quality childcare centers.”

Wages are rising across industries & childcare programs just can’t compete. Parents can’t afford to pay, and teachers can’t afford to stay.

Investing in #childcare and high quality early education is important. It supports kids, their families, and our economy.
Children and family wellbeing is a top priory for @ncdhhs. #RaiseNC
More than 100,000 Americans missed work last month because of child-care problems, an all-time high that’s even greater than during the height of the pandemic, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Vaccines are a safe & effective public health tool that keep us healthy & prepare our immune system to fight diseases. As we start off the school year, please take a moment to ensure you & your family are up to date on vaccines. You have a spot to take your shot.

In March, @NCDHHS released a coordinated action plan to address the urgent crisis of children with complex behavioral health needs.
Unfortunately, this work was not funded in this year’s budget. We’ll continue to work with the General Assembly on this top priority.
We can & must do better taking care of kids. Proud of the work of @SusanGalePerry & leaders across NC to help with children with complex behavioral health needs who come into the care of child welfare services. ncdhhs.gov/media/14828/downl…

Lisa Corbett, our General Counsel @NCDHHS is retiring at the end of the month after 30 years of dedication to the people of North Carolina. I am so grateful for her public service, especially with the heart of so much of it focused on Behavioral Health.

Children ages 6 months+ can now receive a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine. As with all routine vaccinations for children, these vaccines were tested and reviewed by the FDA and the CDC and their independent scientific committees to ensure they are safe for children. 1/5

NC Dept Health & Human Services Susan Gale Perry tells @APHSA1 #APHSASummit22 to not shy away from investments need to move the needle:
What if we were unafraid to scale our programs to meet the need, instead of another pilot program? Playing small doesn’t serve the world.

North Carolina has the 17th highest rate of gun deaths in the nation with an average of more than 1,300 gun deaths each year.

Gov. Cooper has proclaimed June 3 as Gun Violence Awareness Day to raise awareness and remember the lives of those lost to gun violence. We cannot forget these tragedies when they fade from the news. It’s past time for common sense reforms.

Today @ncdhhs we celebrated #OlderAmericansMonth with partners from across the state and heard from North Carolinians about how they are living the theme of #AgeMyWay.
TY @RoyCooperNC for proclaiming May as “Older American Month,” in NC. Let him and others know how we can make aging the best it can be by taking the “Age My Way NC” survey: bit.ly/AgeMyWayNC @ncdhhs @KodyKinsley
