RURAL COMMUNITIES OPIOID RESPONSE PROGRAMS 

The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) is a multi-year Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) initiative aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality of substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD) in high-risk rural communities. IHC leads two multi-sector consortiums in Iowa and is facilitating the implementation of a set of core SUD/OUD prevention, treatment and recovery activities. 

The Iowa OUD Consortium is providing targeted support in Appanoose, Lucas and Wayne County. The Marion County GOAL (Guiding Opioid Awareness Locally) Consortium is working collaboratively together in Marion County.
