Find a CCHC

Child Care Health Consultants (CCHCs) are available to provide support to early care and education programs. CCHCs are health experts with education and experience in child and community health and child care and specialized training in child care health consultation. The CCHC directory lists CCHCs – both those that are permanent and grant funded and those who work independently in many counties in North Carolina.

If you would like to advocate for a permanently funded CCHC in your community, please contact your local partnership for children.
