Our Mission

CORA is committed to providing opioid education, resources, and harm reduction to rural communities to reduce health disparities, thereby preventing addiction and lowering access to treatment. We value equity, community, transparency, and service.

About CORA

CORA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that empowers communities to fight the opioid crisis. We create educational materials and advocacy projects for rural communities to reduce the stigma behind opioid use. We also provide harm reduction trainings, build technologies to increase access to resources, and conduct public health research.
