HAPPY NEW YEAR <br />Sandhills Center looks forward to the new year <br />following a very successful 201 S. We stand firm <br />in our commitment to help individuals with <br />intellectual and developmental disabilities, those <br />with substance use disorders and people with <br />mental illnesses. <br />A number of service -delivery rate increases <br />highlighted 2015 - the latest of which is detailed <br />on page 5. We know that reinvesting Medicaid <br />Waiver savings confirms our commitment to <br />individuals and families. <br />In the last year, we developed a new Business <br />Intelligence Department to contribute to better <br />decision-making throughout the organization. <br />This data -collection unit allows Sandhills Center <br />staff to use data for the purpose of compliance <br />with our accrediting organization, reporting to <br />the North Carolina Department of Health and <br />023 <br />Human Services, and keeping tabs on emerging <br />trends in service delivery. <br />Finally, I want to bring attention to the milestone <br />we reached in December 2015. That month <br />marked the third anniversary of Sandhills Center <br />as a managed care organization for the nine <br />counties of Anson, Guilford, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, <br />Montgomery, Moore, Randolph and Richmond. <br />We closed the year with a remarkable record of <br />providing high-quality learning opportunities <br />for our staff, service providers and other stake- <br />holders. This translates to better services for our <br />enrollees, which is our foremost goal. <br />We thank our community stakeholders and <br />providers for working in tandem with us, as well <br />as the leadership from both the state and county <br />levels. Without these partnerships, our ability to <br />reach those in need would be far less successful. <br />Azl� zj;(X- <br />Victoria Whitt, <br />Chief Executive Officer <br />Sandhills Center <br />3 <br />
