Join Marcus & Vic as they learn from Nzinga Harrison, MD, how we need to change to address addiction in our healthcare system and society effectively. This is an informative and direct conversation with the leading expert in the field.

workforce. She is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer for Eleanor Health, an innovative
mental health and addiction treatment company, and has more than 20 years of experience
