About OneOhio Region 12

One Ohio Region 12 is comprised of Coshocton, Muskingum, Guernsey, Perry, Morgan, Noble, Monroe, and Washington counties. Members of the Region 12 committee have gathered real-life anonymous testimonials from individuals in Southeast Ohio to help understand the landscape of today’s addiction-recovery dynamic. The Region 12 committee and Buckeye Hills Regional Council use this information to form region-specific scoring criteria for proposed recovery projects. Region 12 committee members represent various sectors with real-life, and sometimes even personal experience, that will inform impactful investments of the opioid lawsuit settlement funds.

About the OneOhio Recovery Foundation

The OneOhio Recovery Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation created at the direction of Ohio’s state and local leaders to distribute 55 percent of the funds Ohio will receive from the pharmaceutical industry as a consequence of its role in the national opioid epidemic. The Foundation will work with local interests to support their opioid misuse treatment, recovery, and prevention efforts and invest funds to support these efforts for Ohioans into the future.

The Foundation is governed by a 29-member board, including 19 members selected by regional groups that partner with the Foundation in identifying local organizations to receive funds. Created in December 2021, with most board appointments formalized in May 2022, the Foundation is currently taking the necessary initial steps of any new organization, including hiring its team, establishing internal governance, financial and investment procedures, and other essential policies. The importance of its mission, the significant sums of which it’s a steward, and the high expectations for its work mandate that these decisions be made carefully, with precision, and with careful deliberations from all key stakeholders.

Over the next several months, the Foundation will make regular announcements as it moves forward with fulfilling its mission and working with partners across the state in bringing needed relief, recovery, prevention, and justice for Ohioans. You can read additional information by visiting the OhioOhio Recovery Foundation’s resources page.

“This isn’t an antidote for this devastating crisis that killed so many, but the financial resources will provide for significant recovery in Ohio. The funds are necessary for the healing process that our communities desperately need, and the guardrails these companies are now required to implement will help make sure that these companies will provide a brake in the system, so that those individuals who need medication can receive it without flooding our communities.”
