i2i is excited about our 2023 Winter Conference at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, December 6-8, 2023. As planning for integrated care under the Medicaid Behavioral Health/IDD Tailored Plan continues we should take this time to prepare. This dramatic shift in caring for the whole person needs of individuals with behavioral health and I/DD needs involves innovative processes and protocols that build new partnerships with healthcare, pharmacy, social services, education, housing and more. The i2i conference – Delivering on Integration: Optimizing Connections, will focus on bringing together new partners, advancing connections and understanding the new practices that facilitate a system of whole person care.
