Our Vision/Our Mission

Founded in 2022, the Austin-Travis County Opioid Awareness Coalition (ATCOAC) unites our community around a common goal of raising awareness about the dangers opioids pose to public health. Austin Public Health, Central Health, Integral Care, and Travis County are working together to prevent opioid overdose deaths, provide resources to the community, and advocate for meaningful policy changes that support prevention, treatment and recovery.
