The Family Health Care Clinic will provide a free presentation on the dangers of opioids at the Bartlesville Public Library on Tuesday, June 7th. Nurse Practitioner of the Clinic, Jennifer Conant will lead the presentation and talk about how those drugs can affect the body, as she had this to say: “The opioid epidemic is a public health crisis. Patients and caregivers must have the necessary education to make informed decisions and know when to seek help.” A study from the Oklahoma Department of Health Oklahoma Overdose Prevention has found that the prescription rate of opioids for adults in Washington County is 11 percent higher than the state average. On average, 32 Oklahomans die each month from opioid overdose. Everyone is invited to attend the free presentation.  Comments are closed.
