Rumors are circulating on local social media about the future of North Carolina’s Healthy Opportunities Pilot (HOP), and specifically about Access East’s own HOP program. We are one of only three HOP programs in the state, and the only one devoted to helping the economically disadvantaged and medically underserved in eastern N.C.Unfortunately, those rumors contain more than a grain of truth.As Access East learned only yesterday, neither of the proposed 2026-2027 fiscal-year budgets now before the N.C. General Assembly includes money for HOP after July 1. Without that funding, major changes to HOP will have to take place, up to this invaluable Medicaid pilot possibly being eliminated altogether. This will include Access East’s own HOP program.If no new funding is made available, HOP care management and any related HOP service delivery will stop June 30.Some health plans participating in HOP could decide to stop services for their own members even sooner, something the HOP program itself cannot control.Please note that the N.C. budget is not yet a done deal. The state Department of Health and Human Services is still negotiating for funding to be added for this innovative program, which seeks to tackle crucial non-medical needs that directly affect the health of many North Carolinians.Should you wish to reach out to your own state legislators to address the importance of the HOP program, you can easily find their contact info at www.ncleg.gov/findyourlegislators. ...

We are greatly indebted to the continued generosity and graciousness of the Greenville Service League, and for its most recent gift to our HealthAssist program.Becki Orr, left, Chair of the Service League’s Laughinghouse Fund, is here seen presenting Shantell Check, Director of the HealthAssist Uninsured Network, with a check for $25,000.The endowment comes specifically in support of HealthAssist’s work on behalf of eastern North Carolinians living with diabetes, with $15,000 toward providing personal medical equipment to help cope with the pervasive disease, and $10,000 toward enabling patients to meet copays in order to see local medical specialists.Beyond the nearly 90-year-old Laughinghouse Fund’s higher-profile endowments -- to the local hospital and larger medical community, and to tuition and scholarship programs for local medical, dental and nursing students -- the fund also aids less visible programs and projects like HealthAssist’s diabetes outreach, which benefit local residents who have no health insurance, and who receive no public or federal assistance. ...
