The 4th Wave of the Opioid Epidemic

Posted by Harold Fisher
Posted on Sep 18, 2023

The opioid epidemic is not in the headlines like it used to be. But the community health threat has not gone away. It continues to be problematic for young people in our schools and adults who struggle with addiction. For Medical Monday, we discuss how fentanyl, mixed with cocaine or meth is creating a more complex problem.
