Webinar: Health Care Homes and Care Coordinators: Supporting Patients with Opioid Use Disorder 
Wednesday September 24, noon - 1 p.m. 
Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) often face complex and persistent barriers to accessing care. Health Care Homes (HCHs) and care coordination teams are well-positioned to play a key role in improving connections to care, including Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). This session invites HCH partners to engage in dialogue about strategies to reduce barriers and strengthen care pathways for patients with OUD. We will share current data, review MOUD basics, and explore opportunities for collaboration between HCHs and state-led overdose prevention efforts.
