The opioid crisis in America is one of our community's most significant health issues. The risk of opioid exposure for our children, families, and nation continues to grow as new exposure methods are developed. Providing education and raising awareness on the dangers of opioids, new ways of exposure, opioid addiction, and emergency response/treatment for an overdose is critical.
