OFR Four-Year Summary
Together, the City of Greenfield OFR team aims to ensure that recommendations made during local OFR's are actionable and addresses needs at not only the community level, but also supporting broader, system-level changes.
2020-2021 has been a difficult time and has challenged local public health to be innovative in its everyday functions. However, with these challenges brought opportunities to expand our reach in areas of Naloxone (Narcan) training, community partnership, and programming.
We have had many successes, including the launch of the health department's Naloxone (Narcan) training program, the addition of a Peer Specialist to assist Greenfield Fire Department with opioid-related referrals, and the growth of the City's health collaborative, SAFE Greenfield.
As a community, we can all come together to ask questions, grow in our knowledge, and support individuals experiencing mental health and substance use disorders. Below are ways you can get involved.
