The Region 5 Opioid Abatement Council has awarded a two-year contract including $100,000 in grant funding to OMNI Institute to establish a regional data dashboard.
Pitkin County Commissioner Steve Child cites a high number of opioid overdoses in the region, though he can’t say how high because these are hard to track. “We have an alarmingly high number of people.
The organization will receive $100,000 per year for at least two years from the Opioid Abatement Council, with opportunities to renew the grant for an 18-year period of funding.
