Overview: The recent meeting of the Cook County Public Health Board focused on expanding medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services, discussing opioid crisis origins, and implementing innovative community health solutions.

This change is poised to enhance the accessibility of opioid treatment services, with particular attention to the Grand Portage Health Services and their collaboration with the tribal council to gain support for the MAT program.
