Historical Note
The first Student Rural Health Coalition began at Vanderbilt University in 1968 and focused on improving community health in the Black Belt region. In 1978, the Lyndhurst Foundation began funding similar work in North Carolina with the goal of improving the health conditions of eastern North Carolina, the state's most impoverished and medically underserved region.
In 1987-1988, community representatives and Coalition members formed the cooperative Community Health Collective (CHC) to develop community controlled institutions to address health needs and organize to examine and confront power structures affecting local health conditions. The interaction coalesced around local People's Health Clinics. Health volunteers from Duke University and East Carolina University formed direct relationships with Fremont (Wayne County) and Tillery (Halifax County). The Duke Medical School Chapter provided medical support to the Fremont-area People's Clinic. In 1989, undergraduates from Duke University and North Carolina Central University began active involvement with the Coalition. In 1991-1992, People's Clinics were opened in Garysburg (Northampton County) and Shiloh (Wake County).
Currently, the Duke Chapters of the NCSRHC operate five community health clinics, offer a pre-career health internship program that places students in rural, impoverished areas of North Carolina, and contributes to environmental justice work.
