Opioid Reduction Program While Colorado continues to be one of the healthiest states in America, it ranks 12th in the nation for prescription opioid abuse and misuse. To combat this issue, Sky Ridge Medical Center was selected to participate in the Colorado Opioid Safety Collaborative pilot to make a difference in Colorado’s opioid epidemic.

“As Emergency Department physicians, we believe we helped contribute to the rise in opioid use and now want to be part of the solution,” said Dr. Adam Barkin, Chair of Emergency Medicine at Sky Ridge.
