Last year, we talked about the impact of the opioid crisis in Michigan and what we can do to help. Today, we’re revisiting this important topic as we talk about some of the new steps being taken to help prevent opioid abuse and overuse with Paige Fults, director, advocacy, Michigan Health & Hospital Association; Kim Gaedeke, acting deputy director, Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs; and Robert Nolan, DO, director of emergency medicine, Lakeland Health.
