KOCH Project
The Kentucky Opioid Community Healing Project (KOCH Project pronounced, “Coach”) is a 3-year HRSA RCORP Implementation II Grant. This project focuses on strengthening and expanding prevention, treatment and long-term recovery centered around substance use disorders in rural Kentucky communities. The KOCH project has created a role for a Community Health Worker (CHW) to address the needs of Social Determinants of Health by collecting data and providing resources to Substance Use Disorder patients. The project engages with community leaders and organizations to advocate for Narcan Training, OD Maps and Syringe Exchange Programs. Kentucky RHIO is proud to have partnered with Appalachian Kentucky Healthcare Access Network (AKHCAN), Community Family Clinic, and Estill Medical Clinic on this project. Along with our partners, we cover six counties: Bath, Estill, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, and Powell.
