Putnam Hospital Center hosts opioid training for clinicians

In response to the opioid crisis in New York, Nuvance Health has partnered with the New York State Department of Health, AIDS Institute to offer a training program for clinical providers.

Under current regulations, providers are required to obtain a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine, a medication to treat opioid addiction. Since there is a critical need for this treatment, the two agencies will sponsor a buprenorphine waiver eligibility training course from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 28, in the Michael T. Weber Conference Room at Putnam Hospital Center, 670 Stoneleigh Ave. A light lunch will be provided. 

The training is open to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical residents, clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists and certified nurse midwives.  Dr. Kelly Ramsey of Hudson River Healthcare in Poughkeepsie will lead the training.

For more information, contact Keith Prazeres at keith.prazeres@nuvancehealth.org or 845-278-5527.
