Recovery is Beautiful

01/21/2026

The first Opioid HUB meeting of 2026 was a success.

We kicked off the year by combining the Washington County Opioid HUB meeting with Care & Connect, and the collaboration, turnout, and engagement made it clear this was a strong step forward. Bringing partners together in one space created meaningful conversation, shared goals, and renewed momentum around prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts in our community.

As we move forward, committee meetings will not be scheduled separately at this time. Instead, we will continue to build this work through the combined HUB format and focus on coordinated action and shared accountability.

If you have questions, are interested in joining a committee, or want to get involved in future HUB efforts, please reach out directly.
