About The OUD Business Toolkit

The Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Business Toolkit is a community initiative led by Valley Leadership’s Health Impact Team to help employers respond to substance use disorder with clarity, compassion, and confidence. Developed with medical experts, public health leaders, business partners, and people with lived experience, the Toolkit turns complex research into practical, workplace-ready tools.

Our work focuses on reducing stigma and supporting healthier workplace cultures through trusted guidance, policies, and resources that meet employers where they are. We are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-informed content you can rely on. Learn more about our commitment to quality and trusted content.

Dr. Nick Vasquez, a Valley emergency physician, chairs the Health Impact Team. Hear his perspective from the front lines of the opioid crisis.
