The Community Care of North Carolina program (formerly known as Access II and III) is building community health networks organized and operated by community physicians, hospitals, health departments, and departments of social services. By establishing regional networks, the program is establishing the local systems that are needed to achieve long-term quality, cost, access and utilization objectives in the management of care for Medicaid recipients.

The program office is based in Raleigh at the North Carolina Office of Rural Health and Community Care, the office charged with administering the Community Care of North Carolina program (Access II and III). The program office is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary, the Division of Medical Assistance (the state's Medicaid Agency) and the North Carolina Foundation for Advanced Health Programs, Inc. Additional grant funding has been obtained for start-up and for pilot demonstrations from Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust, the Commonwealth Fund, and the Center for Healthcare Strategies. The North Carolina Foundation for Advanced Health Programs, Inc. is a private non-profit organization that also serves to provide staffing and grant funding opportunities.
