• A New Approach To Opioid Treatment Comes To Cape Cod (newsbreak.com) — Residents from Yarmouth through Provincetown will soon see expanded access to opioid treatment as Outer Cape Health Services rolls out a five-year, $3.5 million federally funded initiative. The program embeds addiction care into primary care, aims to eliminate waitlists, and particularly targets rural Outer Cape communities where transportation is difficult and Provincetown is far from hospital care. 
• Provincetown's Fine Arts Work Center to Launch Native Artist Residency with Walker Youngbird Foundation (artnews.com) — Provincetown’s Fine Arts Work Center is launching a new Walker Youngbird Native Artist Residency next spring, bringing one Native artist to town for a month-long stay with housing, studio space, and a public program. Organizers say they want Provincetown’s influential arts community to better include Indigenous voices, and applications will open October 26 to Native artists across the U.S. and Canada.
