MISSION STATEMENT
Increase awareness and resources to effectively address health and safety issues in Lee County through a collaborative community effort.
COLLABORATIVE FUNCTION
Lee County community leaders
- Work together to conduct the Community Health Assessment

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 educate and inform the community about opioid use and misuse, mental health and mental health services that are available, teen and youth tobacco use and vaping (e-cigarettes), and address food insecurities for Lee County residents.
For questions or interest in membership, please contact LeeCAN , at Health@leecountync.gov
Currently, the full partnership meets at least once a quarter on a third Wednesday of each month beginning at 4pm.
