On July 17, 2025, non-profit behavioral health provider organizations Brightli and Centerstone entered into a non-binding agreement with the intent to merge and create a unified organization. The result would be a large non-profit specialty provider organization with more than $1 billion in revenue that would serve a quarter million people annually across nine states: Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

Their combined service lines include community mental health centers, federally qualified health centers, certified community behavioral health centers, services for people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and services for military service members . . .
