Isabelle Cisco

Isabelle is the Oregon Public Health Analyst with the Overdose Response Strategy (ORS). Locally in Oregon, Isabelle works collaboratively with the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area on projects grounded in overdose prevention. As a PHA, Isabelle works to expand access to data sharing that helps inform overdose response efforts, foster collaboration among local public health and public safety partners, and assist with the implementation of evidence-based overdose prevention strategies. She is an experienced public health collaborator, and she is passionate about harm reduction and its relationship to health policy and social justice. 

The ORS is a national joint funding initiative through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy to bring public health and public safety together around overdose fatality prevention. The mission of the ORS is to reduce fatal and non-fatal overdoses by connecting public health and safety agencies, sharing information and pertinent intelligence, and supporting innovative and evidence-based strategies. An unprecedented and unique program, the ORS is an example of multidisciplinary collaboration with the mission of reducing overdose deaths and saving lives across the nation.
