As a proud fourth-generation North Carolinian with family roots in Montgomery County, April Cook has called Concord home for over 30 years. She raised her family in Cabarrus County and has spent her life grounded by faith, community, and service.

​

For more than two decades, April has put those values into action as Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Lake Norman Community Health Clinic, where she helped thousands of uninsured North Carolinians access affordable, quality care. While leading the clinic she co-founded, April also served on the Board of the NC Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NCAFCC) for 10 years, including two as Board Chair.

​

In 2022, April was named CEO of the NCAFCC, where she now represents and advocates for all free and charitable clinics across North Carolina—continuing her lifelong mission to ensure that no one goes without care.

​

From volunteering at local churches to leading mission trips in Guatemala and Haiti, April’s dedication to service has always extended beyond herself. Recognized with honors like the Charlotte Business Journal’s Excellence in Healthcare Award and Business Today’s Top Women in Business, she’s proven what compassionate, hands-on leadership looks like.

​

Now, April is running for North Carolina Senate District 34 to bring that same effective leadership to Raleigh—because every North Carolinian deserves dignity, opportunity, and access to care.
