At our recent Leader’s Luncheon, we were honored to hear these Stories of Impact from members of the recovery community in our region. Their bravery in showing up and telling their stories will forever impact the outcome of current and future legislative and social efforts to end the overdose crisis in our region and in our nation. From state representatives to parents who have lost loved ones, no one is spared from the ugly reality of the opiate overdose crisis.
