Chancellor James L. Oblinger

On June 4, 2008, North Carolina Governor Mike Easley appointed Chancellor Oblinger to serve as a member of the North Carolina Institute of Medicine (NC IOM) for a five-year term, effective immediately.

Chartered by the General Assembly in 1983, the NC Institute of Medicine provides balanced, nonpartisan information on complex health issues facing the state.  Membership includes individuals from government, education, business and industry, the health and legal professions, the hospital and health insurance industries, private philanthropy, the voluntary sector, faith-based organizations and the public at large.

The mission of the NC IOM is to study and develop workable solutions to the major health issues facing the state, specifically the quality of care and access to health services for all North Carolinians.
