A New Path to Care
Wood River Health
The mobile unit will be stationed at Wood River Health’s 823 Main Street facility in Hope Valley and will operate Monday through Saturday from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM, offering convenient, community-based care for residents who may otherwise face barriers to treatment.
This innovative collaboration is designed to meet people
where they are—both geographically and in their recovery journey—by delivering
timely, compassionate, and evidence-based services.
Services available through the mobile unit include:
- Assessment
and treatment induction
- Access
to Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD))
- Mobile
outreach and counseling services
- General
health screenings, including:
- Blood
pressure checks
- Glucose
readings
- Mental
health screenings
By bringing these services directly into the community, CODAC and Wood River Health aim to reduce stigma, improve health outcomes, and increase access to life-saving medications and support.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to ensuring
that everyone has access to the care they need, when and where they need it,”
said Linda Hurley, CODAC’s President and CEO. “Expanding services through a
mobile unit allows us to reach more individuals and remove barriers that too
often stand in the way of recovery.”
“We believe care should be accessible, respectful and rooted
in the community,” shared Alison Croke, President and CEO of Wood River Health.
“This mobile medical unit allows us to reach individuals who might otherwise go
without treatment and to support recovery in a way that is immediate,
compassionate and responsive to real needs.”
The addition of the mobile medical unit represents a
significant step forward in addressing the ongoing opioid crisis in Washington
County and reinforces both organizations’ dedication to improving community
health and wellbeing.
