Here is Julie Spicer, Chief Advancement Officer at UCS Healthcare, talking about an important partnership.

UCS Healthcare worked with the Iowa Department of Corrections to bring care directly into the community through our mobile unit. Parked right in the lot, the mobile unit gave people access to care exactly where they were. UCS Healthcare also set up a dedicated office on site to help individuals start treatment.

Meeting people where they are can make all the difference. If you see a need for care in your community, please reach out to us at [email protected].

The opioid epidemic continues to affect Iowa communities.

Opioid use disorder is a medical condition with evidence-based treatment options, not a personal failure.

Medication Assisted Treatment has been shown to significantly reduce opioid-related overdose deaths, and early intervention saves lives.

UCS Healthcare provides MAT across 14 locations in Iowa. Awareness, access to treatment, and reducing stigma are all part of the response.
