COMMUNITY PROGRAMS COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

As we move into the new year, our community team is hard at work on a number of new and continuing initiatives. We are hard at work in the Rural Community Opioid Response Program, with three active grants addressing Opioids, Psychostimulants and workforce support. We continue to see tremendous growth in our prevention efforts, including adding a third Prevention Coalition at Snow College this year. We are also continuing to build new and existing resources such as our health resource database and Project ECHO offerings. We are also excited to start working to build more support for Rural Health Clinics throughout the state, which is one of our priorities this year. We would like to remind everyone to follow RHAU on social media and visit our site RHAU.org regularly to learn more about our efforts. In light of the health needs in our office and state, we are making a concentrated effort to bring in new resources and opportunities to improve healthcare in these areas.

We are furthering our efforts through multiple proposals and projects to bolster the nursing workforce and incorporate oral health into our plans. Our goal is to build on the progress made in rural and frontier Utah in the past five years and make an even bigger impact.
