A major opioid settlement has tightened supplies on controlled substances, including meds people rely on for anxiety (benzos) and ADHD (Adderall). One cancer patient saw her pharmacy cut off & struggled to get pain pills:

Take a minute to let it sink in that 600,000 North Carolinians are now going to be eligible for #Medicaid.

600,000 lives improved.

Shout out to everybody attending the @AHCJ summit on reporting violence as a public heath issue. I was an author on a piece on the need for journalistic reframing of issues (e.g. violence) to highlight the social determinants of health. (Will send PDF!)

I'm pinching myself. So lucky to be collaborating with such an amazing organization in Ohio. I'm really looking forward to building this show up.

THERE IS SO MUCH WORK TO DO IN OHIO.

[Dan Skinner @danielrskinner]

This promises to be a good event, stocked with great panelists from our community. Check it out.

One highlight of my past four days in West Virginia was getting to hear Jan Rader, hero advocate in the state’s opioid crisis, speak about how to persist in dark times.

[Dan Skinner @danielrskinner]

Vance's non-profit was a scam from the beginning. Never did anything to address addiction in Ohio, and never planned to. Ohioans should reject Vance for exploiting a tragic issue for political gain.

Telltale signs of rampant addiction are everywhere in Ohio. Kudos to the employees at @cincylibrary for being patient and kind to the many library patrons dealing with incredible challenges. Libraries are one of our few remaining public safe spaces.

[Dan Skinner @danielrskinner]

Never seen hard data on it, but I guarantee you that American libraries have saved hundreds of thousands of lives just by being cool, safe, and welcoming spaces.

Gov. Mike DeWine says no parts of Ohio have been spared from the opioid epidemic. Yet, perhaps no region has been hit harder than southern Ohio. https://t.co/t1TS4AqKhN

Thinking about the patients I lost to fentanyl overdose on this first ever #NationalFentanylAwarenessDay

[Bethany Bruner @bethany_bruner]

Run-down of what we know:

-Two students have died from apparent OD
-Columbus police drug crimes unit is investigating those deaths
-Unknown officially what substance is involved but city's public health put out warning about fentanyl:
