About this episode
The episode discusses aligning community efforts to support patients with substance use disorder through public health education and evidence-based programming.
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.

The opposite of addiction is connection.” — Johann Hari, Author & Journalist
