Combating Opioid Addiction: Policy and Progress

About this Session:

Despite progress, the opioid crisis persists in our communities. Last year, ~150 people died every day from an opioid-related overdose in the US–a rate over 15% higher than when a national public health emergency was declared. Explore the latest in public policy aimed at improving patient access to nonopioid pain treatments with Chris Fox, Executive Director of Voices for Non-Opioid Choices. This fireside chat will provide insights into how federal and state policies are shaping acute pain management and what they mean for patients, healthcare providers, and the industry. This session is sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
