NC CAN - North Carolina Community Pharmacy Alert Network
What is NC CAN?
The North Carolina Community Alert Network (NC CAN) is an initiative intended to facilitate communication between local health departments and the community pharmacies within their service areas. NC CAN was developed by the North Carolina Association of Pharmacists (NCAP) with support from the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) in partnership with the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This communication network is designed to help address any public health need that may exist, but is particularly helpful during disease outbreaks, natural disasters, or other population health initiatives for the purpose of mobilizing resources and serving residents at the local level, across the state of North Carolina.
The rollout of this new platform is taking place now. We are holding gatherings with pharmacists and public health professionals across the state to provide training and education for the network and building meaningful partnerships along the way! Look out for the next NC CAN kick-off event coming to your county soon!

UNC ESOP SURVEY ON METHADONE ACCESS. Please be on the lookout for a timely survey on methadone access at community pharmacies that will be sent by Delesha Carpenter from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy on (3/7/25) to community pharmacists who are currently practicing in NC. If you do not see the survey, it may be in your “other” tab in Outlook or in your junk mail. Otherwise, you may not have received the survey because eligibility was limited to active NC pharmacists working at independent and chain pharmacies. Please email the study coordinator (Caroline Shubel: [email protected]) with any questions related to the survey.
