In a continued effort to save lives and strengthen community support for individuals impacted by substance use disorder, Emily’s Hope has announced the expansion of its Post-Overdose Response Team (PORT) into Clay County. This expansion will ensure that every person who survives an overdose in the Clay County area has rapid, compassionate, and evidence-based support from the moment they return home.
“Bringing PORT to Clay County means our team can not only treat overdoses but help prevent the next one. It strengthens our ability to connect individuals and families to immediate support at a critical moment, helping turn crisis into opportunity for recovery. This partnership also reinforces our shared commitment to collaboration and long-term community wellness,” said Janice McGuire, director of Nursing and Clinical Services at Sanford Vermillion Medical Center.
