Real Talk

Real Conversations. Practical Tools. Better Care

We know time is limited and the demands on healthcare providers keep growing. That’s why we created Real Talk, a series of quick, candid conversations with clinicians and recovery coaches that turn expertise and lived experience into practical strategies you can use. From behavior change and overdose response to starting medication in the ED or primary care setting, Real Talk explores how everyday interactions can reduce harm, support recovery, and save lives.

WMCHealth’s Margaretville Hospital and Ellenville Regional Hospital are each delivering innovative best-practice care for our patients living with a variety of substance use disorders. Our organizations know that collaboration and honest, open conversations improve outcomes.

Thanks to HRSA funding through the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program we teamed up to create this video series & toolkit to share what New York clinicians and coaches see working everyday. Real Talk brings together experts from our organizations and across New York State to show what works to help providers improve care for people with substance use disorder.
