The STR Admin team would like to announce a Save The Date for Santa Fe Prevention Alliance, who are hosting a conference about Medicated Assisted Treatment. This will be a one day conference on Saturday, April 14th, 2018 from 8:30am-4:30pm at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center.

The conference will be an integrative community approach for complex needs in Medicated Assisted Treatment. In partnership with the Santa Fe County Community Services Department, Santa Fe Prevention Alliance are aiming to enhance health and human service provider capacity to support clients in accessing and maintaining successful MAT. They will offer an informative and engaging event that combines didactic and participatory education as well as opportunities to network with each other.

●       Physicians (MDs)
