Free Recovery Resources Poster
One of the projects of the Beyond the Save grant was creating a recovery resources poster to distribute to health care providers and emergency departments across the UP.
We are mailing these posters to anyone who wants them in the Upper Peninsula! Please share with anyone who you think might want to have this poster to share the information.
This project and website is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $1,000,000 with no percentage financed with nongovernmental sources.
