Also pictured (left to right) are Roseman University College of Medicine's Dr. Farzad Kamyar, Dr. Karin Esposito, Dr. Pedro Greer, Jr., Dr. Andria Peterson, Rachael Mack, and Dr. Nirupa Paulraj. The EMPOWERED Home (+) program is designed to address social determinants of health by delivering services in the home, where recovery and family life intersect. Through structured household visits, interdisciplinary teams will support pregnant and postpartum individuals in Las Vegas experiencing opioid and/or stimulant use disorders, and families at risk of developing a substance use disorder. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdose is the leading cause of death among women of childbearing age (15–44) both nationally and in Nevada. It is also the leading cause of maternal mortality – defined as death during pregnancy or up to one year after giving birth – in Nevada, according to the Nevada Maternal Mortality and Severe Maternal Morbidity Report. Each visiting team will include a medical clinician, an EMPOWERED peer recovery support specialist and medical students from Roseman University College of Medicine. Teams will provide comprehensive screening, care coordination, education and direct navigation to community resources in the home setting. The pilot program is expected to serve 30 households over a one-year period. “This investment from Molina allows us to meet families where recovery truly happens,” said Dr. Andria Peterson, PharmD, co-founder and executive director of EMPOWERED and chair of the Department of Bioethics, Humanism and Policy at Roseman University College of Medicine. “By stepping into the home, we can better identify barriers to care, strengthen family-centered support systems and improve health outcomes for parents and children alike.” Funding from Molina will support clinical equipment for home visits, overdose prevention and first-aid kits, health promotion materials, professional training resources, and outreach and educational materials to strengthen program engagement. “Molina is deeply committed to Nevada and proud to partner with EMPOWERED to expand access to comprehensive, recovery‑focused care,” said Nick Hollister, MD, behavioral health medical director at Molina Healthcare of Nevada. “By connecting mothers with medical services, counseling, peer support, education, and community resources, this program strengthens families and helps moms thrive during and after pregnancy.” In addition to direct patient impact, the program will provide hands-on, community-based learning opportunities for Roseman’s medical students, helping prepare the next generation of physicians to deliver compassionate, holistic care outside traditional clinical settings. The EMPOWERED Home (+) pilot will be implemented over one year, with plans to integrate the program into Roseman University College of Medicine for long-term sustainability and continued service beyond the grant period.
