COLUMBIA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH STRATEGIC PLAN 2023-2028

Columbia County Public Health is pleased to announce we are seeking applicants for our 2026-2027 Community Wellness Grant Program, funded through the Columbia County Opioid Settlement Fund (OSF). OSFs originate from national legal settlements related to the opioid crisis and are dedicated to addressing the impacts of opioids and substance use disorder in our communities.
This grant program is designed to support community-driven projects and activities that contribute to substance use prevention, education, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery. Columbia County recognizes that substance use intersects with many aspects of community well-being and encourages proposals that respond to local needs through a variety of approaches, settings, and partnerships.
