We were honored to attend what marked the final i2i Conference, a gathering that has brought together North Carolina’s healthcare leaders and changemakers for more than 30 years.

The i2i Center for Integrative Health has played a vital role in convening hundreds of stakeholders annually to address the most pressing issues impacting behavioral health, intellectual and developmental disabilities (I-DD), and primary healthcare across our state. Through collaboration, innovation, and policy leadership, i2i has helped organizations work together to improve outcomes for North Carolinians. Over the years, Voices Together has had the privilege of attending many i2i conferences, and it has consistently been one of our team's favorite events. The conference provides a unique opportunity to learn, share ideas, and connect with dedicated partners who are working to strengthen systems of care throughout North Carolina. As this chapter comes to a close, we would like to thank Jean Overstreet for all of the hard work she has put in to this conference. We are so grateful that the conference's legacy will continue through the North Carolina Association of Public Community Health Plans (NCAPCHP), which will assume responsibility for carrying forward the inclusive and collaborative spirit for which the i2i Center is known. We also enjoyed reconnecting with many valued partners from across the state, including Ric Bruton of Carolina Complete Health (pictured on slide 3), and look forward to continuing these important conversations and partnerships in the years ahead. Thank you, i2i, for three decades of leadership, collaboration, and impact. #VoicesTogether #i2iConference #BehavioralHealth #IDD #HealthcareInnovation #NorthCarolina #CommunityPartnerships #MentalHealth #IntegratedCare #HealthcareLeadership #NCAPCHP
