CCNC Becomes NCNA's Newest Group Membership Organization
March 12, 2026
NCNA is thrilled to announce that Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC) has formally taken advantage of our discounted dues rates through the ANA and NCNA Group Membership Program. CCNC is the largest North Carolina-based independent primary care practice partner, and this partnership provides joint ANA/NCNA memberships to 26 nurse leaders throughout their organization.
“Community Care of North Carolina supports group membership in the North Carolina Nurses Association because this offers exceptional value for career-building and long-term professional growth for our nurses,” said Avera White, MSN, RN, CCM, Executive Director of Employee Engagement & Experience at CCNC. “NCNA provides access to high quality professional resources, continuing education, advocacy efforts, and extensive networking. This collaboration will enhance our leadership development initiatives and support CCNC’s nurses at all stages of their careers.”
NCNA’s Group Membership Program is in its third year, after a phenomenal launch and substantial annual growth with Atrium Health since 2023. Organizations that enroll their team in this group membership program can access discounted dues rates that give nurses support across a wide array of personal and professional member benefits.
“Recruitment and retention are a constant struggle for every health system, school of nursing, and other type of workplace that relies on nurses. Offering complimentary membership to their state and national professional organization is really an incredible way to show nurses that your organization cares about their individual career advancement,” said Rebecca Lopez, NCNA’s Director of Operations and Member Engagement. “We commend CCNC for recognizing that and giving 26 of their nurses a wonderful chance to better lead Nursing Forward®.”
