Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) has expanded opioid treatment services with new hours, effective February 19, 2026, to increase access to care. The updated schedule was announced on February 19, 2026, as part of efforts to address the opioid crisis in Spokane County.
The announcement came as part of SRHD's ongoing efforts to improve public health services. The district previously held a board meeting on March 5, 2026, where they selected a new administrative officer to lead SRHD operations. This new administrative leadership may have influenced the expansion of services.
SRHD's opioid treatment services program has been a key component of the district's public health strategy. The expansion includes longer operating hours to accommodate more patients seeking treatment. The district has also been active in other health initiatives, including measles exposure notifications and participation in National Public Health Week.
