Our Mission and Story
About Us
At Family Support Network of Central Carolina (FSNCC), our mission is to provide support, education, and caring connections to those who have a child with a disability, special healthcare needs, or who have experienced a NICU stay. We envision every child having a thriving family and are committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable community.
We have a close affiliation with Cone Health and are located within the Neonatal Medicine Department at Cone Health Women's and Children's Center at Moses Cone Hospital. FSNCC serves families across Guilford and surrounding counties.

Program development was guided by Family Support Network of North Carolina, an affiliate of the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
