Community Health Summit

Substance Use Disorders and Youth System of Care

We are excited to invite you to our yearly Community Health Summit, formerly our Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Summit, Oct. 7-8 at the Seaside Civic & Convention Center. We have rebranded the annual event to give it a broader focus on community health. Specific focus areas may change from year to year depending on community needs.  

In response to last year’s strong turnout and robust feedback, the 2024 summit will span two days. As in the past, the first day will focus on substance use disorders. For the first time this year, the full second day will explore our Youth System of Care. 

The event is free to attend and open to all – including physicians and other medical providers, pharmacists, behavioral health clinicians, educators, law enforcement officials, emergency medical services personnel, organizational leadership, parents and others who care about the health and future of Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties.  

Vision statement

Convene regional and statewide partners, clinicians and community members to learn together, inspire each other and commit to individual, organizational and systemic change that improves the lives of those living in our communities.
