On November 18, 2024, our Forum Speaker Series welcomed a panel of healthcare and drug enforcement experts to provide a critical and timely update on the ongoing fentanyl crisis in our community.
Our speakers provided new data and facts on this “fourth wave” of the crisis, as well as ways we can be proactive, as community members, to spot issues related to illegal drug use.
Thank you to our speakers for sharing this important information with our community:
- Dr. Kelly Olson, PhD., Director of Clinical Affairs at Millennium Health
- Nancy Bee, Critical Care Director at Salem Health
- Chris Gibson, Executive Director at the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA)
We’d also like to thank the Salem Convention Center for providing the venue and meal, and Allied Video Productions and Capital Community Media for their help with producing this event.
Finally, a huge thanks go to Salem Health and the Salem Health Foundation for serving as this month’s Forum Sponsor, and to Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions for being our Presenting Sponsor for the entire 2024-2025 Forum Speaker Series season.
Join us for our next Forum Speaker Series luncheon on Monday, December 9, as we host a “Generational Discussion” with a panel of Salem business icons and Emerging Leaders.
