The County Administrator reported attending a National Association of Counties caucus meeting where a presenter described an ECHO model to support medication‑assisted opioid treatment (MOUD) in rural jails. The program would form cohorts of 4–6 jails, provide expert hubs and peer support, and offer continuing education credits for participants.
Administrator characterized the program as a rural extension strategy similar to models used in other health fields and said it aims to recruit 10 cohorts over an 18‑month training and peer‑learning period. Commissioners noted the county already engages in similar programs and discussed whether the ECHO model adds value for local partners.
