UR Medicine Recovery Center of Excellence hosted the Taking Action National Rural Substance Use Disorder Health Equity and Stigma Summit May 18-20, 2022, at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. A hybrid in-person and virtual event, the summit convened a diverse group of people with deep knowledge of the issues and dedication to finding solutions to discuss how stigma and health inequity increase barriers around substance use disorder (SUD). More importantly, presenters shared their knowledge, perspectives, and experience about how to overcome stigma and health inequities and more effectively address the SUD crisis in rural communities.
Speakers included people with lived experience of SUD, artists, authors, providers, researchers, policymakers, and advocates. Participants were encouraged to connect with presenters and one another to grow their network of similarly committed colleagues, candidly discuss stigma and health equity related to SUD, and share strategies and solutions.
