COVID Impact 2020

Pre-COVID, the Lincoln County Substance Use Coalition spent a great amount of time creating a strategic plan for the coalition. The need for a strategic plan was brought up during a coalition meeting in late 2019. Each subcommittee met frequently to come up with a strategic plan and then all subcommittee strategic plans were compiled into one document to serve as a strategic plan for the entire coalition. Each subcommittee had wonderful plans and goals to achieve in 2020 and then COVID hit. Because of COVID, subcommittee meetings were put on hold and of course all planned activities were put on hold as well. Very little work has been done by the coalition to achieve the goals set in the strategic plan. The coalition is made up of several agencies and organizations in Lincoln County and most of us have had a major shift in job responsibilities and duties since COVID. We are hopeful to resume meetings soon whether it be in person or virtual, so that we can continue our work addressing the opioid crisis in Lincoln County.
