During the fiscal year, the Institute strengthened partnerships with Departments of Social Services, expanded cross-sector governance and legal infrastructure, and advanced IRB-approved research to evaluate child welfare and maternal outcomes. Preliminary findings demonstrated that 91% of SUN clients had custody of their child at the time of data collection and 85% of RISE participants maintained custody from one year postpartum through age five, supporting the projects goal of safely keeping families together while advancing evidence-based systems of care. 29426 Contract with Cabarrus Health Alliance from (OSF) Opioid Settlement Funds (Yr2)The Cabarrus Health Alliance SUN Clinic utilizes OSF to contract with The Suda Institute to implement the system level activities and research and evaluation activities of the SUN Project in Cabarrus County. Our scope of work consists of: 1) Working collaboratively with CHA and community partners to recruit, maintain, and re-engage key partners, stakeholders, and agencies for cross-sector coordination of care for clients, to address systems barriers, and expand services to include others impacted by OUD; and 2)Evaluating project activities to measure outcomes and quality as a method to address stigma, direct policy-system-level recommendations, and support and educate families affected by NAS and SUD. In Cabarrus County, 10 monthly care coordination meetings were held with partners for Cabarrus County (more with other counties), 10 community feedback group meetings hosted with 104 participant encounters, and 45 referrals generated. 28299 Atrium GrantThe Suda Institute received funding from Atrium Health Cabarrus to support the operational infrastructure of the SUN Project, a cross-sector collaborative network that improves care for pregnant and postpartum individuals and families impacted by substance use disorder. Funding supported technical assistance and provider education across Cabarrus, Rowan, and Stanly counties, including workforce development for primary care providers, medical residents, and new clinicians. It also supported research, evaluation, dissemination of best practices, development of an educational podcast series, Project ECHO evidence-based training, and systems-level initiatives that strengthen care coordination, expand workforce capacity, and improve access to evidence-based treatment. Data was collected for 159 respondents, which yielded that 94% reported an increase in knowledge on SUD. 18731 Aetna Through an Aetna-funded contract with The Governor's Institute, The Suda Institute supported development of the North Carolina Perinatal Substance Use Disorder Network and implementation of an eight-session Project ECHO training series. The Institute completed all contract deliverables, including network evaluation planning and provider education, training 53 healthcare professionals across multiple disciplines. Evaluation results showed 84% increased understanding of evidence-based SUD care, 83% increased practical skills, and 100% improved access to experts and positive attitudes toward caring for people with substance use disorders. 15282 HRSA GrantThe Suda Institute successfully completed the final three months of a $100,000 HRSA planning grant this fiscal year to strengthen rural systems of care for pregnant women with substance use disorders in Stanly County. Accomplishments included establishing a cross-sector network, improving care coordination, developing legal infrastructure for information sharing, training providers, engaging community voices, creating a strategic implementation plan, and submitting grant applications to secure additional funding to support sustainable, evidence-based services. 62312 368724 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false true true true true false false false true true true true true true true false NC X X X Gina Hofert 7049535619 254 Oak Tree Rd Mooresville NC 28117 Gina Hofert CEO 40.00 0.00 X 116500 0 5000 Lashonda Houston MSW Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elisabeth Johnson PhD Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Hofer CPA Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Bridge Board Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Middleton Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jerett DiMarzio Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 116500 5000 1 false false false 0 40560 387832 2575 430967 0 10705 10705 0 0 0 0 40560 5763 -5763 0 0 0 435909 10705 X 0 0 0 0 122333 97867 12233 12233 0 0 0 14358 11487 1435 1436 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 378056 242602 107728 27726 534 534 0 0 0 0 8043 8043 0 0 0 0 0 3817 3817 Miscellaneous 14136 8725 5411 Equipment and Technology 10288 10288 0 551565 368724 140912 41929 458393 344823 0 0 43498 16115 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 71 501891 361009 28578 3352 28578 3352 X 26464 72606 446849 285051 473313 357657 501891 361009 -115656 X false true X false false X 598314 666964 430967 1696245 0 0 598314 666964 430967 1696245 0 1696245 10705 10705 0 0 1706950 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 441672 5763 5763 435909 435909 557328 5763 5763 551565 551565 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Special Event Expense $5763 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Special Event Expense $5763 false Fundraising 40560 40560 5645 118 40560 40560 5645 118 5763 -5763 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a The initial number of Directors to constitute the Board of Directors is three (3) but the number of Directors shall not exceed nine (9) Directors, not including Board members Emeritus.
