It Is A State Wide Effort! AppHealthCare collaborates with Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHP&R). PHP&R is the branch of the NC Division of Public Health that monitors and strengthens the abilities of our public health and healthcare systems to protect the public health in disaster situations such as disease epidemics, chemical and radiological releases, severe weather and natural disasters. Since the start of the PHP&R program in 2002, NC has established a multi-faceted public health preparedness and response infrastructure that involves multiple agencies.
