*The Opioid Stakeholder meeting on 10/5/2026 is cancelled, and these drop-in hours will take place as scheduled on 10/7/2026*
Bloomington Public Health serves the communities of Bloomington, Edina, and Richfield.
Bloomington Public Health facilitates a monthly Opioid Stakeholder Group where members are able to drive prevention strategies for addressing the opioid crisis.
On the Wednesday following our monthly meeting, we offer the chance for anyone interested to drop-in and chat with our team! We created these drop-in hours to make our meetings more equitable for community members who are unable to attend Monday’s meeting and offer a chance for anyone to dive more into substance use prevention projects, share stories, and discuss innovative ways to reach our community. Routine topics for this time include:
- Invitation to take our survey, “Help shape the Opioid Stakeholder Group.”
- Are there certain substance use prevention projects you’re interested in learning more about?
- Do you have personal or professional experiences surrounding opioids or substance use that you would be willing to share with staff or others?
There are no eligibility criteria for this group- we want anyone interested from all walks of life, including: community members, professionals, people with lived experience of opioid use, and youth.
Contact Jon Niederhauser, Public Health Specialist - Substance Use Prevention, if you would like to be added to an email list and receive calendar invites, monthly meeting minutes, and other resources.
