A message from Groups’ CEO, Colleen Nicewicz, in honor of International Women's Day: "Empowering women isn't just a slogan for us — it's our reality. I'm thrilled to share that more than half of our employees are women. This International Women's Day, we’re celebrating that. It isn’t just a number or a statistic. It’s a testament to the remarkable talent, dedication, and leadership that women bring to our organization to provide exceptional care to members each and every day.”

We are excited to share our first-ever annual report on our treatment program’s outcomes and impact. As we enter our 10th year of operations and reflect on the past decade, we’re publishing this data to hold ourselves accountable to our mission to save lives and increase access to communities of recovery in the places where they’re needed most. Our latest outcomes prove there is a better way than the status quo to deliver and reimburse opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment — and that high-quality results are possible at scale. We hope that increased transparency will inspire others in the industry to join us in sharing outcomes and building a better path forward for everyone who needs treatment for substance use disorders.
