With funding through Care Compass Network (CCN), the Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the S2AY Rural Health Network has formed a Regional Opioid Task Force to address the opioid epidemic. The Task Force consists of 12 counties (Steuben, Schuyler, Chemung, Ontario, Wayne, Yates, Livingston, Allegany, Genesee, Orleans, Seneca, and Wyoming), spanning from the Southern Tier, throughout the Finger Lakes, and into Wester New York. The Task Force is working to bring awareness to the community, train and inform providers in evidence based practices around opioid use, and connect those suffering from substance use disorder to appropriate treatment and support.
The full Task Force (12 counties) meets on a quarterly basis, with separate meetings for the northern region, southern region, and a data workgroup sub-committee occurring monthly. Meeting dates, times, locations, agendas, and meeting minutes can be found below. All meetings are open to the public and free to attend. For more information on any of the Task Force meetings or sub-committee, please contact Jesse Dow at the S2AY Rural Health Network – Jesse.Dow@s2aynetwork.org.
