Webinar: What’s the Latest? Opioid Recovery & Care Access (ORCA): A Closer Look (Feb. 10, 12pm PT)

Building on January’s What’s the Latest? session, this webinar will dive deeper into DESC’s ORCA Center—a 24/7, judgment-free space for recovery after overdose and initiation of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).

You’ll learn about the care ORCA provides, its person-centered approach, and how the team works together to deliver timely, compassionate support to the community.

The presentation will be followed by a brief conversation with ORCA staff, offering an inside look at how this innovative program reduces barriers and saves lives.

Presenter & panelists:

• Callan Fockele, MD, MS
• Lupe Hurtado, Peer Counselor
• Penelope Toland, RN, BSN
• Aaron Billick, RN BSN, MHP
