Sandra Boucher, RN serves as the Addiction Services Outpatient Director at Primary Care Centers of Eastern Kentucky. Through her various roles at PCCEK, Sandy has been instrumental in developing programming and services for families struggling with addiction. Sandy began work with Pregnancy and Beyond, a program offering behavioral and medical treatment for pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorders.

In her work coordinating a Quick Response Team, Sandy assists victims and families within 24 hours of an overdose. She also works towards overdose prevention through community Narcan distribution and linkage to Casey’s Law resources, which she advocated to get grant funded and brought in house at the clinic. Early in her nursing career, Sandy worked in the nursery of a local hospital and developed a passion for working with babies who had Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and their families. Since then, Sandy’s passion has continued to grow alongside her developing career. Sandy and her wife Joanne have five children that were adopted through the foster care system. Her purpose in life is to love people into the best versions of themselves and has proven to be both personal and professional in her pursuit.
