She needed to make some pretty drastic lifestyle changes if she wanted to get better.” Change is hard Jackson’s fight with obesity began when she was just 10 years old. Eventually, years of overeating and lack of exercise led to excess weight gain, until her body began to rebel. “I was always short of breath, and I could hardly walk without becoming dizzy,” says Jackson. “I was simply miserable, and depression set in.

  • Ch 5 NC Legislature.Indd
    The State Legislature The General Assembly is the oldest governmental body in North Carolina. According to tradition, a “legislative assembly of free holders” met for the first time around 1666. No documentary proof, however, exists proving that this assembly actually met. Provisions for a representative assembly in Proprietary North Carolina can be traced to the Concessions and Agreements, adopted in 1665, which called for an unicameral body composed of the governor, his council and twelve delegates selected annually to sit as a legislature. This system of representation prevailed until 1670, when Albemarle County was divided into three precincts. Berkeley Precinct, Carteret Precinct and Shaftsbury Precinct were apparently each allowed five representatives. Around 1682, four new precincts were created from the original three as the colony’s population grew and the frontier moved westward. The new precincts were usually allotted two representatives, although some were granted more. Beginning with the Assembly of 1723, several of the larger, more important towns were allowed to elect their own representatives. Edenton was the first town granted this privilege, followed by Bath, New Bern, Wilmington, Brunswick, Halifax, Campbellton (Fayetteville), Salisbury, Hillsborough and Tarborough. Around 1735 Albemarle and Bath Counties were dissolved and the precincts became counties. The unicameral legislature continued until around 1697, when a bicameral form was adopted. The governor or chief executive at the time, and his council constituted the upper house. The lower house, the House of Burgesses, was composed of representatives elected from the colony’s various precincts. The lower house could adopt its own rules of procedure and elect its own speaker and other officers.

We have long admired the quality care NHRMC provides for the citizens of southeastern North Carolina and your reputation for excellence. The partnerships UNC Health and NHRMC have fostered over many years have been productive for both of our systems and allowed each of us to further serve our missions. We have enjoyed learning in more detail about your organization through this RFP process. NHRMC’s co-workers, leaders, physicians and your community should be very proud of your health care system. To better understand NHRMC’s goals, we have attended your Partnership Advisory Group meetings and reviewed the materials provided to all respondents. After many discussions among our system leaders and our Board of Directors, we believe we understand NHRMC’s current situation and your desire to ensure your continued success for future generations. We would like to share our vision of how UNC Health could serve as a long-term partner. Our proposal reflects what we believe to be the best approach to meet the needs of NHRMC, your patients and your community. UNC Health proposes that we start our journey together through a significantly enhanced educational and research partnership, which we will refer to as our “academic partnership,” as well as a strengthened clinical partnership. This enriched relationship can evolve and expand over time, as NHRMC’s needs change.

Today, Carolina has created and nurtured a strong culture of innovation that is turning the knowledge of our faculty and students into practical solutions, taking valuable ideas to the inventive edge. Thanks to the dedication of Judith Cone and her team, we are working strategically, collaborating creatively and fully activating this culture of success. The ripple effect of this commitment is making a global impact: Talented researchers and those with entrepreneurial aspirations are moving more ideas, more rapidly and more effectively, into the world where this work has the greatest impact. We are far from done – Carolina is committed to innovation and entrepreneurship that boldly addresses our world’s most pressing challenges. KEVIN GUSKIEWICZ INTERIM CHANCELLOR, UNC-CHAPEL HILL One of the most important things that we can do for the people of North Carolina and the people of this country is to create that next big opportunity that is going to have a chance to change the world and make a difference in our lives.
