The Kentucky Statewide Opioid Stewardship (KYSOS) Emergency Department (ED) Bridge Program is making site visits to all bridge programs in the state. During the visits, hospitals are receiving program banners and posters to use in their facilities. Peer Support Specialists also receive new KYSOS Bridge logo t-shirts, the back of which say, “Peer Support Saves Lives.” These banners, posters, and t-shirts will help increase awareness by highlighting the services available in the ED and promote access to treatment for patients with opioid and stimulant use disorders presenting to the ED.
The photos below feature the recent visit to Carroll County Memorial Hospital (CCMH).
