Course Description:
The Michigan Center for Rural Health (MCRH) was awarded a Rural Communities Opioid Response Planning Grant in FY 19, funded by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The planning grant, and subsequent implementation grants, allow for the Northern Michigan Opioid Response Consortium (NMORC) to bring together 50 partners to address the opioid epidemic across a 25-county region in northern lower Michigan, including healthcare facilities, community mental health agencies, local public health agencies, prevention and harm organizations, counseling centers, treatment centers, recovery community resources, law enforcement, and emergency medical services.
In developing the project, the NMORC team discovered a need for coordinated activities to address prevention, treatment, and recovery across rural Michigan. To promote these coordinated activities, MCRH hosts the Rural Michigan Opioid and Substance Use Summit.
