Mecklenburg County is the 2nd most populous county in North Carolina, with roughly 1,233,383 residents. Density is not the constraint here; appointment availability, clinic hours, and insurance networks are.
Getting treatment in the Alliance Health region
Alliance Health covers the state's largest population centers — Mecklenburg, Wake, Durham, Orange, Cumberland, Harnett, and Johnston.
The Alliance counties hold most of North Carolina's population, and they have the most treatment capacity in the state. What they don't have is enough of it, at the hours people can actually use, without a wait. The barrier here is rarely that no clinic exists — it's that the clinic has a three-week wait, keeps weekday-only hours, or stopped taking your plan.
