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: nyti.ms/3ZTWo54 w/@egabler #pharmacy #MedTwitter

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.

We just dropped a new episode addressing the state of the #EastPalestineDisaster. Guests from @RiverValleyOrg and @OhioEnviro Show notes coming soon, but stream the episode at prognosisohio.com or in your podcast app. Please share widely. @WCBE905Columbus @GovMikeDeWine

It's why we do Prognosis Ohio. Spotlight the talent and promise while making sure people understand the root causes of poor health and disparity in our state.

It's the perennial tragedy of Ohio. A state of tremendous talent and promise--both of which are routinely squandered by a core group of cynical, pandering policymakers who crowd out the committed public servants who really care.

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!) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35130813/

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.

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. apnews.com/article/2022-m…

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.


Not Far From Me Reposted

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.

It is HOT out this week, and the forecast calls for highs in the upper 90s! Stop by any of our 23 air-conditioned locations to cool down and enjoy our 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. athensmessenger.com/news/regional-…
