About this episode
President Donald Trump recently declared the nation's opioid epidemic a public health emergency—but what will it take to connect patients with effective treatment? Our previous episode explored the scope of the crisis and proven solutions. In this bonus edition, you'll hear more from Shawn Ryan, chief medical officer at BrightView Health in Cincinnati, and Cindy Reilly, who directs Pew's efforts to expand access to medication-assisted treatment. They discuss what's at stake with host Dan LeDuc, as well as the potential solutions.
