Mission Statement

Increase awareness and resources to effectively address health and safety issues in Lee County through a collaborative community effort.

LeeCAN’s ability to make a change begins with your involvement!

Lee County residents can help LeeCAN with the overall goal of improving the health and well-being of all community residents by identifying the important health and safety concerns of the community.

Lee County residents can also help define and carry out solutions to these concerns along with other community residents, civic leaders, healthcare providers, city and county officials, religious leaders, and business owners.

Currently, LeeCAN is working to reduce the teen pregnancy rate, educate and inform the community about mental health and mental health services that are available, and reduce the number of Lee County residents who are obese. The subcommittees meet monthly.

You can contact Christina McCormick, the coordinator, @ leecan@leecountync.gov or (919) 777-0225 x204.
