Dear County Commissioners:
As you are aware, during the past several months, the NC Department of Health and Human
Services and the NC Association of County Commissioners have worked with Cardinal
Innovations, a 20 county Behavioral Health Local Management Entity/Managed Care
Organization (LME/MCO) headquartered in Charlotte, regarding:
The dissolution of that organization and its merger into Vaya LME/MCO, an LME/MCO
headquartered in Asheville; and
The disengagement and realignment decisions of the Cardinal Innovations' constituent
counties.
These activities were the result of the Cardinal Innovations counties concerns with the
management of Cardinal Innovations as well as concerns about behavioral health service delivery
to their communities.
NC General Statutes allow counties to petition the DHHS Secretary to disengage and realign with
other LME/MCOs. The Davidson and Rockingham Counties Board of Commissioners and
County staff have had many conversations with the Sandhills Center Board of Directors and
Executive Leadership regarding potential realignment with Sandhills Center. Subsequently
Davidson County Commissioners voted on June 22, 2021 to disengage from Cardinal Innovations
and pursue realignment with Sandhills Center. On July 19, 2021, the Rockingham County
Commissioners voted to disengage from Cardinal Innovations and pursue realignment with
Sandhills Center.
On August 6, 2021, the NC DHHS Secretary approved the requests of both counties to realign
with Sandhills Center, with an effective date of December 1, 2021. Sandhills Center Board of
Directors desire to pass a resolution approving the addition and realignment of both counties to
the Sandhills Center catchment area.
NC State Statutes limit the number of voting members of an LME/MCO Board of Dir ectors to 21
members. Sandhills Center is currently at that maximum membership, leaving no vacant board
seats to distribute to Davidson and Rockingham County. This would mean that current county
board seat allocations would have to be redistributed in order to insure that all constituent counties
are represented on the governing body.
However, NC State Statutes does allow for a statutory exception to the maximum number for
LME/MCOs whose population exceed 1,250,000. With the addition of Davidson and Rockingham
Counties, Sandhills Center will exceed the population required to qualify for an exception. Prior
to granting the exception, the NC DHHS Secretary requires that each constituent county pass a
resolution requesting such exception.

Serving Anson, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery,
Moore, Randolph & Richmond counties
The Sandhills Center Board of Directors is requesting that “the Board of Directors may be
appointed with a composition other than as required by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 122C-118.1 as follows:
Each county shall have two (2) Board members with the exception of Randolph County, which
shall have three (3) Board members; Davidson County, which shall have three (3) Board
members; and Guilford County, which shall have (4) Board members. All other statutory
requirements will be observed”. This composition would preserve the number of voting members
currently available to each county and add an additional five (5) members to be distributed
between Davidson and Rockingham Counties. This action will preserve our current practice of
ensuring each constituent county hold at least two (2) seats on our Board of Directors and allow
additional representation for counties with large population bases. With the NC DHHS Secretary’s
approval of this exception, we will be able to maintain the current Board seat distribution without
any constituent county giving up seats when Davidson and Rockingham Counties join.
Sandhills Center's Board of Directors has approved the request/resolution and are respectfully
requesting that our constituent counties adopt this resolution, requesting a statutory exemption to
expand the number of voting Board members of the Sandhills Center Board of Directors.
Enclosed you will find the Resolution document. Please let me know if you have any questions.
On behalf of the Sandhills Center Board of Directors, I thank you for your continuing support of
Sandhills Center and the work you do for our community individuals with behavioral health needs.
Sincerely,
Victoria Whitt
CEO
