Our Partnering for Health Equity grant partner, North Carolina African Services Coalition, hosted a reception to kick off their “Quilting Stories: Sharing Your Legacy” exhibition at the Greensboro Cultural Arts Center’s GreenHill ArtQuest Community Gallery. This exhibition is part of their Tulip Society program.

The quilt-making process brought community members together, offering them an opportunity to express themselves, reflect on their journeys as refugees and immigrants, and learn from one another. One participant shared that her experience in this country felt like becoming a new flower in a new land. A powerful reflection of growth, resilience, and new beginnings.

Programs like this foster community, connection, and belonging. Thanks to NC African Services Coalitions for uplifting these stories through quilting and providing spaces for support and reflection.

🎉 Big news for our community! 🏆 We are thrilled to announce that Cone Health’s very own Dr. Kardie Tobb has been named the 2026 RISE Health Care Hero Award recipient! 👏

💙 This prestigious award honors leaders who go above and beyond for underserved populations. As a cardiologist and tireless advocate, Dr. Tobb is closing the gap in women’s heart health—ensuring that every woman, especially women of color, has access to the lifesaving preventive care they deserve.

💬 "I am humbled and honored," says Dr. Tobb. "Too many women continue to face preventable risks. I am grateful for the opportunity to help more women understand their heart health and to support greater access to the care they deserve."

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of seeing one of our grant partners, Guilford Green Foundation & LGBTQ Center (GGF), reach further heights of successs as they met their $40,000 fundraising goal through their 2026 Annual Gala & Green Party!

Our staff member, Ms. Christina Yongue, and board memeber, Dr. Christina Rama, enjoyed good food, music, and fellowship with new and old friends, while making meaningful connections with the staff at GGF.

Executive Director, Bess Newton, gave a message of encouragement to the audience who were all gathered to advocate and uplift the LGBTQ Community. Scholarships were awarded in honor of Pearl Berlin, who was a champion of marriage equality in North Carolina.

The keynote speaker, Dr. Demeter Daskalakis, MD, MPH, serves as the Chief Medical Officer of the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York, and he gave inspiring quotes from his center’s namesake (from history makers Michael Callen and Audre Lorde). He shared about his roots from Greensboro, and his work in Atlanta to defend science and scientists when research funds were cut.

We celebrate you, Guilford Green Foundation! Keep up the good work!

We’re excited to announce the recipients of our Building Capacity Together grant!

Through this initiative, we invested $450,000 in capacity-building projects for Greensboro-based organizations working across our priority social drivers of health.

Capacity building strengthens the internal operations and infrastructure of organizations already doing impactful work in our community — helping ensure long-term sustainability, growth, and greater impact.

Capacity building is not just about the operations of an organization today–it’s an investment in the growth and effectiveness of the organization into the future, ultimately allowing these organizations to scale their engagement with the communities they serve.
