CHC staff at all levels—prescribers, medical staff, therapists, care coordinators, and administrators—are integral to the development and implementation of a successful Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) program. Gaining additional understanding and perspectives of each other's roles from prescriber, communications, and operational trainings improves overall team functioning.

Opioid-related deaths rose 38% between 2004-2012 in Wisconsin.

In rural areas that face greater shortages of treatment options, the situation is even worse.

But the trend is reversible.

Integrated Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) treatment programs at community health centers play a crucial role in the solution.

At Community Health Centers (CHCs), patients aren't just receiving care, they're helping lead it.

Patients make up over half of every CHC board, meaning major decisions about services, priorities, and programs are made by the people who rely on them most.

This innovative model keeps health centers grounded in the real needs of their communities – and it works.

On Patient Appreciation Day, we celebrate the voices, experiences, and leadership of the patients who power the mission of Community Health Centers.
