Event Overview
With record-breaking rates of drug-related overdose fatalities, including from fentanyl, in California last year, the opioid epidemic ranks among the state’s most vexing issues.
On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, The Center at Sierra Health Foundation highlights the work of three nonprofit organizations working on innovative ways to prevent and recover from substance abuse and advance health equity across the state throughout Northern California — from remote rural areas of Inyo County, to the Central Valley, to Alameda County.
