Campus Conversation on the Opioid Crisis

It is our pleasure to announce that registration is now open for the Campus Conversation on the Opioid Crisis.  Through your participation in this event, we hope to learn about the many ways that Ohio State is already involved in addressing this critical issue and develop plans for advancing the role that Ohio State can play statewide in battling the opioid crisis.

The event will take place on Monday, January 30 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM at the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center at 2201 Fred Taylor Drive on the Ohio State campus.  Parking is available across the street from the 4-H Center. Doors will open at 8:00 AM with coffee and pastries. Lunch will be provided.

We are pleased to confirm that Rear Admiral and Assistant Surgeon General James Lando, MD, MPH, FACPM will be our featured speaker.  Dr. Lando serves as regional health administrator for the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Lando, along with several leaders in Ohio’s efforts to combat drug addiction and overdose deaths, will lead the morning program.  The afternoon will be devoted to small-group conversations related to the various dimensions of the issue ranging from prevention to treatment.

We are also trying to develop an inventory of how participants are involved in addressing the opioid issue.  Consequently, space is provided on the web-based registration form to briefly describe the nature of your work related to the issue.

Registrations are due by noon on Tuesday, Jan. 24.
