The Cape Fear Health Policy Council (CFHPC) was formed in 2009 as an affiliate of Cape Fear Healthy Carolinians. The purpose was to provide a forum for the discussion and resolution of health policy issues in the region or elsewhere. Participants include representatives of Cape Fear Region non-profit organizations, health care related social service departments and agencies, and the public. CFHPC seeks to inform and improve networking and cooperation among participants with common health policy interests.
