ncgCARE Acquires Broadstep of North Carolina, Expanding Statewide Access to Behavioral Health Services

ncgCARE is growing its community-based behavioral health services across North Carolina to serve more individuals and families.

RICHMOND, VA, UNITED STATES, January 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ncgCARE, a nationally recognized network of behavioral health provider partners, is proud to announce that it has acquired Broadstep of North Carolina, also known as Coastal Southeastern United Care. Effective Jan. 14, 2026, Broadstep’s North Carolina operations joined Carolina Outreach, a North Carolina–based behavioral health provider and long-standing ncgCARE partner.

“We are pleased to welcome Broadstep of North Carolina into the ncgCARE network through our partner, Carolina Outreach,” said Frank Viera, President & CEO, ncgCARE. “Broadstep’s mission, service model and commitment to community-based care align closely with our values. This partnership allows us to expand access to services across North Carolina while maintaining local leadership and continuity of care.”

Importantly, this transition will not disrupt services, referrals or continuity of care. Broadstep’s programs, staff, leadership and clinical approach will remain in place, and individuals and families will continue receiving services without interruption. The acquisition is intended to strengthen long-term sustainability while preserving the local identity, relationships and community connections that Broadstep has built.

The acquisition includes Broadstep’s community-based programs and locations across Gastonia, Lumberton, Jacksonville, Supply and Wilmington, further expanding ncgCARE’s footprint across eastern and southeastern North Carolina.

Carolina Outreach and ncgCARE will provide additional operational, clinical and compliance infrastructure to support Broadstep’s teams and enhance their ability to serve communities effectively over time. The shared focus remains on stability, quality and long-term access to community-based behavioral health care.
