News from the Pacific Northwest Node

An investigator with the Pacific Northwest Node, Dr. Thomas Robey, was recently profiled by Washington NPR affiliate KNKX, because of his innovative work as medical director with the Emergency Mobile Opioid Team in Everett, WA (EMOTE).  

EMOTE’s goal is to provide compassionate medical care and make it easier to access treatment for substance use disorders, especially for those dealing with homelessness or other issues that can make getting to a traditional care setting challenging. The EMOTE team routinely drives around Snohomish County looking for anyone who is unhoused and may need help with any kind of healthcare need, not just their substance use.
