Current Impact Areas
CaroNova is working with partners across the healthcare system to provide better services to Carolinians at reduced cost. Our current programs operate in these three impact areas:
Improving Mental Wellness
CaroNova advances strategies and policies that foster environments where mental wellbeing is prioritized and integrated into all layers of health across the Carolinas. CaroNova’s foundational work in Improving Mental Wellness is our focus on Youth Mental Health.
Active Projects:
Universal Youth Mental Wellness Supports South Carolina
Using the Mental Wellness Through Schools (MWTS) Framework, CaroNova and its partners are simplifying, strengthening, and standardizing the foundational elements needed to support youth mental wellness through collaborations with South Carolina.
Universal Youth Mental Wellness Supports North Carolina
Informed by its Mental Wellness Through Schools work in South Carolina, CaroNova is working with North Carolina state and community leaders (the Plan Steering Committee, or PSC) on a multi-year, multi-stakeholder process to align and strengthen North Carolina’s youth mental health system so that all youth have the mental health and wellness supports they need to thrive.
Designing the Innovation in Behavioral Health Model
CaroNova is partnering with the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) as a neutral third-party convener to support implementation of the CMS Innovation in Behavioral Health (IBH) Model, a multi-year federal initiative designed to strengthen how care is delivered and paid for to support people with behavioral health needs, including substance use disorders.

Transforming Serious Illness Care
CaroNova is reimagining a healthcare system that is inclusive, patient-centered, and delivers better outcomes for Carolinians. From helping providers and payors remove barriers to empowering patients and families to have an active role in decision-making.
Active Projects:
Comprehensive Palliative Care for Serious Illness Pilots
CaroNova is supporting implementation of a comprehensive care model and payment infrastructure to support people who are seriously ill, including those facing the end of their lives, and their families. Through pilots in the Carolinas, learnings will inform core elements for the CPCSI model, expected patient outcomes, sustainable payment models, and a framework for collaboration between providers and payors.
Strengthening the Healthcare Workforce
CaroNova and its partners are leading and supporting efforts to retain individuals in the Carolinas healthcare workforce focused on improving the workforce experience and preventing attrition from both individual health systems and from the healthcare field.
Active Projects:
Health System Workforce Experience Accelerator
CaroNova is supporting a bi-state collaborative to transform the workforce experience, examining the root causes of burnout and lack of professional fulfillment, and working with health systems to codesign and launch an online resource suite of existing best practices and innovative strategies.
