I’m so grateful to RUUTE for providing the institutional support to do so!”

While I was growing up, health care providers in our community would come and go, and my parents still don’t have access to regular care. It is my hope to foster passion for rural care in my classmates and eventually commit my career to a rural community.

However, after going to undergrad in a major city I realized the unique challenges that rural environments pose and made a commitment to go back to Wyoming and serve a rural community.

“My name is Kirsi Anselmi-Stith, and I am stoked to be an MS1 at the University of Utah! I grew up just a few hours away in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Of course, when I was younger it was all I could do to get out of my small town and never look back.

Today’s student highlight is MS1 Wyoming student, Kirsi Anselmi-Stith! Read about what inspired her passion for rural health care. #RUUTE #UUSOM #RuralMedicine #RuralWyoming

“The drug overdose death rate in rural areas is higher than in urban areas,” said CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald, M.D. “We need to understand why this is happening so that our work with states and communities can help stop illicit drug use and overdose deaths in America.”

Rural areas of America in particular are hit hard due to the poverty, limited education, and lack of support networks, which are major risk factors for drug use disorders.

North America continues to experience the highest drug-related mortality rate in the world, accounting for 1-in-4 drug-related deaths globally (The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) ‘World Drug Report 2019’).

International Overdose Awareness Day is a global event held on the 31st of August each year. Its purpose is to raise awareness of overdoses, reduce the stigma of drug-related deaths and acknowledge the grief felt by families and friends.
