Story Behind the Measure
This is the first year we recived data from the Western North Carolina AIDS Project (wncap) concerning the number of program visits. The purpose of their program is harm reduction. WNCAP offers case management, runs a needle exchange program and provides overdose reversal kits throughout the community.
WNCAP is one of several entities within Macon County that is working to resolve the substance abuse issue.
What Works to Do Better (Performance)?
What's Helping What We Do?

What's Hurting What We Do?
-
The Behavioral Health Task Force, which is the regular meeting with local partners for coordination purposes, transitioned from county control to private control due to a change in elected officials.
-
Lack of communication from county commissioners.
- Lack of information on use of Opioid Settlement Funds
