After a long shift at UNC Hospitals, Terrell Doyle still has work to finish. Patient notes still have to be written, and charts have to be completed before he can go home. Exhaustion comes easy as the work continues and never seems to slow down.

For Doyle, a registered nurse, this reality helps explain why hospitals are searching for tools that can reduce work overload without taking away attention needed from patients. The hours spent documenting care after a long shift reflect a growing burden felt across healthcare. Healthcare systems like UNC Health and Duke Health are part of the movement to reduce the burden through the use of artificial intelligence.

Ambient AI is an artificial intelligence technology designed to listen during patient appointments and generate notes or organize patient information to reduce burnout and return more time to direct care. The goal is simple: reduce burnout caused by clinical work and give clinicians more time to focus on the care of their patients. However, hospitals are also learning that successful adoption depends on safeguards, trust and realistic expectations.

Beginning June 1, Orange Habitat will accept applications for seven homes in Weavers Grove, its new mixed-income community in Chapel Hill: one two-bedroom duplex, two three-bedroom duplexes, two three-bedroom townhomes and two four-bedroom townhomes.

Weavers Grove brings together Habitat homeowners and market-rate homeowners in one neighborhood with community-centered amenities that include a one-mile walking trail, playground, basketball and pickleball courts, picnic pavilion and community center. Habitat homes are built to the same high standards as market-rate homes and blend seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood.

Through Orange Habitat's Mortgage-Ready Program, eligible buyers can purchase a home with no down payment, reduced closing costs, and a mortgage payment capped at no more than 30% of their pre-tax monthly income.

Whew! It’s been a tough month for the HBCU sports family.

First, legendary sports broadcaster Charlie Neal passed at the age of 80. Neal helped usher in HBCU sports on a national stage, starting at BET for 23 years. ESPN hired him in 2005 to cover its HBCU broadcasts, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of his legacy.

Former Virginia Union football student-athlete William Davis took his life at just 22 years old. Davis played at VUU from 2022-24 before transferring.

And, before we could exhale, longtime Fayetteville State educator and administrator Peggy Green died after a long fight with cancer. The CIAA Women’s Coach of the Year Award is named after Green.

In 2019, Fashion Fair, the cosmetics line created by Johnson Publishing Company’s Eunice Johnson, filed for bankruptcy following years of declining sales that ended the cosmetic giant’s decades of growth in department stores across the country.

Today, Fashion Fair is owned by a group that includes former Johnson Publishing Company CEO Desiree Rogers. Rogers broke her promise not to buy Fashion Fair, according to Johnson Publishing Company heirs Linda Johnson Rice and her daughter Alexa Rice, in a recent story in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Last week, approximately two dozen members of Black Voters Matter Fund gathered outside the general assembly building to advocate for voter rights.

Following this, the North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus, Black Voters Matter, NC Black Alliance, and Advance Carolina NC held a press conference titled “Speak Up, Speak Out, North Carolina and the South Will Not Be Silenced" to address issues related to education, utilities, and voting rights.

Several elected members of the General Assembly, led by Senator Natalie Murdock, spoke about ongoing concerns. After the news conference, many attendees had the opportunity to discuss these matters directly with elected representatives.
