Ways to Support the mission

We’re not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means contributions to NC Wellness Collective are not tax-deductible.

Everything we do is focused on supporting the local North Carolina community and the small businesses that make it thrive. We spend many hours:

• Researching local businesses and health resources
• Evaluating health‑centric products and techniques
• Sharing both historical information and modern findings

All so we can make the safest, most useful recommendations possible with no membership fee.

Your donation helps cover the time, tools, and research that go into this work, so we can keep it independent, transparent, and available to everyone in NC.

Any amount is appreciated!

NC Wellness Collective: Statewide Health Goals

We have ambitious goals for the future of health and wellness in North Carolina.

1. Establish Recognition and Licensure for Naturopathic Physicians in North Carolina

We advocate for the recognition and licensure of qualified Naturopathic Physicians (NDs) within North Carolina’s healthcare system.

North Carolina has the opportunity to join the growing number of states that have already established pathways for licensed naturopathic physicians, including:

Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

By establishing clear educational, licensing, and professional standards, North Carolina can expand access to qualified preventative healthcare providers while encouraging collaboration between conventional medicine and evidence-informed natural healthcare.

2. Advance Preventative Healthcare Coverage

We desire to see preventative healthcare approaches receive greater recognition within the health insurance industry.

This includes creating pathways for scientifically supported nutritional interventions, lifestyle programs, preventative wellness services, and clinically supported supplements to be considered for coverage when they demonstrate measurable benefits in improving health outcomes and reducing long-term healthcare costs.

A healthcare system focused not only on treating disease but also on preventing disease has the potential to reduce chronic illness, lower healthcare expenses, and improve quality of life for North Carolina residents.

3. Build a Healthier North Carolina Through Collaboration

Our vision is a healthcare environment where physicians, wellness professionals, researchers, farmers, educators, and communities work together to promote prevention, education, and proactive health management.

By supporting innovation in preventative healthcare, North Carolina can become a national leader in empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and creating a healthier future.
