Great example of how to embed evidence into the policymaking process. MN is using evaluation to make sure they fund SUD treatment approaches that work. @HealthPolicyOH

#FentanylAwarenessDay is a good time to think about improving Ohio's Good Samaritan law.
Fentanyl requires a rapid response to overdose prevention. Ohio must send a clear, simple message that seeking help to save a life is always the right thing to do: dispatch.com/story/opinion/c…

Positive step toward #healthequity
Menthol= easier to start & harder to quit

2022 does not need to be another record-setting year for drug overdoses in OH. Improving our Good Samaritan law would help.
Urgent help, empathy & encouragement--NOT fear & punishment--are what we need.#harmreduction @HealthPolicyOH

Yes! The state must hold IT vendors accountable for performance metrics to improve the OH Benefits system.
Ohioans who need help the most are falling thru the cracks because of this glitchy Kafkaesque system.

Strengthening public health & prevention is the most effective way to empower Ohioans to lead healthier lives. But OH invests far less in public health than most other states.

#ICYMI @HealthPolicyOH released this graphic on Friday! While the gap in COVID-19 vaccine completion has narrowed since March, we still have a long way to go to achieve equity. Safe, trustworthy and accessible vaccination sites are vital for closing this gap!
