How do we align and connect community efforts to support patients who use substances?

Join us as we discuss critical public health education to connect diverse stakeholders across complex systems, with the ultimate goal of caring for community members with substance use disorder. Whether these patients are residents, incarcerated, or reintegrating into the community, our guest speakers discuss successful, evidence-based programming to ensure the community is aligned in empowering patients to live healthier lives.

Guests: La-Tricia Gordon, RN, CARN & Clement Chen, PharmD, Rutgers Northern New Jersey MAT Center of Excellence

A note from our guests: This quote is one they return to often, and it speaks to the importance of trust, relationships, and community woven throughout today’s conversation:

“The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection.” — Johann Hari, Author & Journalist
