Responsible Department: Public Health and Community Services
Commentary:
This order will authorize the City Manager to accept funds from EMHS/Acadia Hospital in the amount of
$4,000 to provide coordination, reporting and documentation of results for the Primary Care Suboxone
Training Projectfor the term September 1, 2016 to May 30, 2017.
Acadia Hospital is partnering with the Community Health Leadership Board (CHLB) to pilot a model for
Suboxone medication assisted treatment within primary medical care offices that can be expanded to
rural areas to relieve overburdened treatment sites in Bangor. Bangor Public Health and Community
Services, as a member of the CHLB, will assist with recording aggregate results to identify elements of
success to develop workflows that can be replicated in other primary care offices in the Bangor region
and in more rural settings. Bangor Public Health and Community Services will also help with
documentation of results and reporting to the funder.
The funds for this project were granted to EMHS/Acadia Hospital from the Maine Community Foundation/
Penobscot Valley Health Association Fund. This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the
August 15, 2016 Government Operations Committee meeting.
