Update on the Epidemic of Opioid use in Fulton County
When District Attorney Paul Howard commissioned a report to gather data in 2016, it was not designed to frighten people but rather to make everyone aware that we are staring at a crisis that gives every indication that it will get worse," Howard said. One of the report's authors, Dr. Kevin Baldwin, said that if the trend continues as expected, the number of deaths is only expected to increase. Join us for this informative luncheon on the status of the epidemic today.
