About

This toolkit was created by Valley Leadership’s Impact Maker Health Team. We are a collective of community champions and organizations who imagine a world where all Arizonans enjoy good health, live in healthy communities and have access to affordable health care and wellness resources.

To achieve our vision, an area we have focused on is reducing the stigma that contributes to Arizona’s opioid crisis. Learn more about our work here.

If you or a loved one is coping with opioid use disorder, please contact the Opioid Assistance Referral Line: 1-888-688-4222

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