A recent article from NJ Spotlight News, “How should NJ spend its share of national opioid settlement funds?” offers important insight on this important issue. New Jersey has made great strides in ensuring allocation of the settlement funds will be used directly to address the opioid epidemic and those impacted by it.
I encourage you to register for an upcoming webinar hosted by Fed Up, scheduled for June 24. The webinar will focus on the challenges with the potential misuse of opioid settlement funds, and how advocates are dealing with those challenges across the country. Fed Up is national coalition of families affected by the opioid crisis, as well as medical experts and other advocates in the field.
