DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition Partnership With Piatt County Adds to Colaborations Between Two Counties

DeWitt County entities partnering with Piatt County entities are becoming an increasing trend in recent years given the two areas similar demographics and community sizes.

 

The latest example is increased partnerships with non-profits geared at substance abuse treatment. Vice Present of the DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition, Paul Skowron, explains Piatt County groups have been very active along the Coalition since their inception.

 

 

Skowron points out this is a growing trend across the state and communities in northern Illinois are setting the example of what this looks like. To that end, he'll be in attendance of a seminar in June on how to make this happen in other areas.

 

 

Skowron says the Piatt and DeWitt County partnership is definitely getting stronger and the Substance Abuse Coalition is working to codify some things but in the meantime, they will continue their joint ventures serving the communities.
