Timely Topics: Integrating Addiction Care Across U.S. Hospitals
12 p.m.
Despite the record number of fatal drug overdoses last year, Americans in need of addiction treatment are forced to navigate a punishing gauntlet of barriers to access care. OHSU’s Project IMPACT is working to change that.
Join Project IMPACT director and OHSU residency alum Honora Englander M.D., R ’06 as she discusses her work to improve the standard of care for hospitalized adults with substance use disorder. Through clinical innovation, research, and education, Project IMPACT is working to shift the view of addiction from one of shame and stigma to one that embraces belonging, treatment, and healing.
Presented by:
