HOPE Consortium, formed in 2015, is a partnership of organizations that formed in response to grant funding that was available under Wisconsin HOPE legislation to address growing problems associated with opioid misuse in rural, northern Wisconsin. It was expanded in 2017 to include the provision of care for those affected by methamphetamine use. The partnership of organizations represents a collaborative rural model for substance use disorder treatment and recovery support. Those currently served include men, women, and affected family members, with priority for women of childbearing age, who live in Forest, Iron, Oneida, Price, or Vilas Counties or the Forest County Potawatomi, Lac du Flambeau Chippewa, or Sokaogon Chippewa Tribal Nations. In 2020, HOPE Consortium was expanded to include a Central Region, consisting of Clark, Jackson, Portage and Wood Counties and HoChunk Tribal Nation. Family Health Center of Marshfield, Inc., serves as the grantee and provides staff support to the HOPE Consortium.
