i2i Center for Integrative Health

What i2i Center for Integrative Health does

i2i Center for Integrative Health is a North Carolina-based 501(c)(3) non-profit convening organization founded in January 2018, succeeding the NC Council of Community Programs (established 1994). The organization operates as a neutral facilitator that brings together LME/MCOs, behavioral health and IDD providers, state agencies, school districts, advocates, consumers, and families to address fragmentation in North Carolina's public behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance use disorder systems. Its primary mission is to convene these stakeholders to strategize around shared concerns, synthesize Medicaid transformation policy into actionable information, and activate change toward integrated whole-person care.

The organization monetizes through four streams: conference registration fees (Winter and Spring conferences priced from $150 to $495), tiered corporate and individual donations (Champion $15,000 down to Associate $500), conference sponsorship and exhibit revenue (Platinum, Gold, Silver tiers), and project-specific grants from entities such as NC DHHS. Headcount is 1-10 employees operating from a single Cary, NC headquarters. Distribution is event-driven and community-led: annual conferences (650+ attendees at the 2026 Winter Conference), school district convenings, the I/DD Perspectives webinar series, stakeholder collaboratives on value-based care and PRTF metrics, and published toolkits and resource bulletins.

On May 7, 2026, i2i announced it would cease operations and sunset the brand over summer 2026, with annual conference responsibilities transitioning to the North Carolina Association of Public Community Health Plans (NCAPCHP). Leadership at the time of announcement included Ann Rodriguez as Executive Director and Jean Overstreet as Development and Communications Director.
