The service and outreach arm of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health has received an award in recognition of its “significant contributions” to public health in the state.

The North Carolina Institute for Public Health was presented with the Partners in Public Health Distinguished Group Award at the N.C. Public Health Association’s annual conference in Asheville earlier this month.

The award citation recognized the institute’s achievements, including reaching health professionals in all 100 counties with training and continuing education programs; training about 20,000 North Carolina adults each year; and providing continuing education services to neighboring states, throughout the United States and internationally.

The institute is in its 10th year as a teaching, consulting and research link between the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and public health practitioners.
