The Opioid Stakeholder Committee (OSC) is a multidisciplinary group addressing the growing opioid and stimulant misuse crisis in our community. We recognize that substance misuse is a complex community problem that requires a coordinated community response, and must include strategies in health systems, legislation, behavioral health, education, criminal justice, and communities. The OSC uses the evidence-based Strategic Prevention Framework to carry out its work, an approach that leverages local coalitions to address prevention, treatment, and recovery needs to address substance misuse.

Committee Chairs:

Virginia Leavell, Albemarle County Human Services Alternative Response Team

Wendy Carlton, UVA Office of Pain Management & Opioid Stewardship
