BACKGROUND
background
Guilford County Health and Human Services Agency - Department of Public Health seeks to amend the existing FY 2027 GCSTOP contract and spending resolution to reallocate existing funding to support the Pharmacy Program. This change will better align resources with the County's Opioid Recovery and Response priorities while expanding access to pharmacy-based services and related evidence-based treatment and health care support for individuals with opioid-related substance use disorder.
The GCSTOP pharmacy-based services and related supports are allowable activities under the Opioid Settlement MOU. Staff recommend reallocating the $91,000 in current funding to the Pharmacy Program, effective for the FY27 fiscal year running through June 30, 2027.
