BCHS partners with ACHD and CDC to curb the opioid overdose epidemic

Mary Hawk, DrPH, MPH, professor and chair; James Egan, PhD, MPH, assistant professor; and staff member Molly Eggleston, MPH, will evaluate the performance of and efficacy of the $14.5 million project, which is an extension of the ACHD's Overdose Prevention Program.

"Community service is integral to what we do as a department and school," said Hawk. "Given the devastating impact of opioid overdose in our region, particularly on Black communities, we are proud to work with the health department on such an important endeavor."
