Claim 7: “Valley Hope Addiction Treatment and Recovery and University of Colorado Anschutz College of Nursing’s Sheridan Health Services are working together to provide a unique form of care to mothers with substance abuse disorder.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the evidence mentions both Valley Hope and CU Anschutz Nursing, the provided search results do not explicitly describe the partnership's specific goals for mothers with substance abuse disorder in a way that corroborates the claim across multiple independent sources. The 'Providing Judgment-Free Care' snippet (found in claim 3 and 6 evidence) suggests the link, but it is essentially one source of information.
