The Manchester Health Department is pleased to announce a collaborative effort with the North Central District Health Department (NCDHD) and Eastern Highlands Health District to address Opioid Abuse in our communities.
In partnership with the Manchester Health Department, NCDHD applied for and was awarded $300,000 from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), a national non-profit association representing nearly 3,000 local health departments in the United States.
“The Manchester Health Department is excited to embark on this project. Any step we can take to prevent or lessen the devastating effects of opioid abuse in our community is a step we are happy to take. This funding will open doors to regional conversations, new partnerships, and increased capacity to work with our local stakeholders,” said Joel Cox, Director of Human Services.
