Wake County, North Carolina, is addressing that challenge through its Nonprofit Institute, a program designed to strengthen grassroots organizations and expand their capacity to deliver public health services. In this PHIG Impact Report, Lechelle Wardell, Population Health director for the Wake County Department of Public Health, explains how the Institute works and what it has accomplished so far.
