NC reentry program turns to tiny homes to help women leaving prison

By Rachel Crumpler A barren field in Alamance County will be transformed over the next year into North Carolina’s first tiny home community built specifically for formerly incarcerated women — a new approach to post-prison housing in a state where the need for a stable place to land when leaving prison far outpaces the available options. About 95 percent of the more than 32,000 people in North Carolina prisons will one day return to the community — about 20,000 releases each year....

To control costs, State Health Plan leaders look to invest in members’ health

By Rose Hoban North Carolina Treasurer Brad Briner has made waves during his first year in office among state employees, who will see a sharp uptick in their health insurance premiums starting next month. Briner says the increase is necessary to address a shortfall in the North Carolina State Health Plan he found when he arrived. Last year, Dale Folwell, the treasurer before Briner, told the plan’s trustees that if current trends continued, that deficit would be about a half billion dollars in 2026 and perhaps as large as a billion dollars in 2027....

Legal aid groups feel pinch of NC legislature freezing millions of dollars

By Lucas Tomae Carolina Public Press Civil legal aid organizations, which provide tens of thousands of North Carolinians with free legal services each year, have been forced to close offices and reduce client intake after the state legislature froze millions of dollars in grant funding to them earlier this year. A small provision in a public safety bill passed in July stopped the North Carolina Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Accounts (NC IOLTA) from awarding grants through June 30, 2026....

Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: What to Know & What to Do

Signs of cerebral small vessel disease. From Inzitari et al, BMJ. 2009 Jul 6;339:b2477. doi: 10.1136/bmj.b2477 This article is about the most common aging brain problem that you may have never heard of. While leading a fall prevention workshop a few years ago, I mentioned that an older person’s walking and balance problems might well be related to the presence of “small vessel ischemic changes” in the brain, which are very common in aging adults....

Plastic waste is costing society billions, Duke study finds

By Will Atwater When it comes to the American landscape, litter is nearly as ubiquitous as trees and waterways. Now new research indicates it’s expensive too. A recent Duke University study estimates that litter costs society between $400 million and $1 trillion every year, once public health, environmental and economic damages are factored in. Unlike traditional litter studies that focus mainly on cleanup costs, the Duke research seeks to measure the downstream consequences of plastic throughout society: microplastics entering drinking-water supplies, harm to wildlife and fisheries, clogged stormwater systems, degraded soils and coastlines, and lost economic productivity....

Q: My 87-year-old father lives alone. His house has become increasingly dirty, but he refuses to get help, even though I’m sure he needs it.

Stein restores Medicaid rates amid budget shortfall, urges legislature to act

By Jaymie Baxley and Ashley Fredde Gov. Josh Stein put an end to North Carolina’s Medicaid brinkmanship Wednesday, restoring funding and abandoning efforts to reduce payments to health care providers brought about by the legislature’s falling hundreds of millions of dollars short of the state health and human services department’s request for the annual Medicaid budget. The situation had become something of a showdown between the governor, who has limited power under the North Carolina constitution, and the legislature, which has aggressively wielded the power of the purse....

NC inventor/former teacher’s 3D-printed tiles are helping children learn to read

By Jennifer Fernandez CONCORD, N.C. — In Meagan Beam’s dining room, a dozen 3D printers whir and clack away as they crank out plastic tiles with colorful raised letters, letter combinations and pictures on them. The tiles are part of a system the former teacher created as a way to teach reading to students, especially those who struggle to make sense of letters and words. ...

Chemours cannot keep documents sealed, federal judge rules

By Trista Talton Coastal Review Online A district court judge has ruled that Chemours and its predecessor company cannot conceal thousands of pages of documents from the public. The manufacturing giant failed to provide sufficient evidence the documents include commercially sensitive information that, if released, could competitively undermine the companies, Judge James Dever III concluded in his Dec. 3 ruling....

Surprise! Your health care provider added a fee for that questionnaire you filled out

By Michelle Crouch Co-published with The Charlotte Ledger When Steve Hardman of Charlotte checked in to see a Novant Health sleep doctor earlier this year, the receptionist handed him a survey to fill out.

‘Game of chicken’ at NC turkey plants. Little consequence when federal inspectors find filth.

By Jane Winik Sartwell Carolina Public Press If you are having a turkey this holiday season, do you know where it was processed? If it came from certain North Carolina processing plants, it may have been processed on dirty equipment, records obtained by Carolina Public Press show. Federal inspectors found black residue on conveyor belts, accumulated waste on production floors and documentation failures at three major turkey processing plants in North Carolina during the peak production season leading up to Thanksgiving....
