Equity Upstream
Mid-State Health Network (MSHN) has developed The 2023 “Equity Upstream” Virtual Lecture Series & Learning Collaborative to Reduce Racial & Ethnic Disparities in Opioid Overdose Deaths with national experts who will illuminate different perspectives on the landscape of SUD health disparities with an overview of epidemiological trends in the overdose epidemic, as well as what’s known about why disparities exist (systemic racism, implicit bias, access issues, mistrust of the medical system, cultural issues specific to communities of color, etc.).
