.Massachusetts for Overdose Prevention Centers, Mass. Public Health, and The Boston Globe agree: Overdose Prevention Centers are a vital step in addressing the opioid epidemic. H.1981/S.1242 would save lives. It's time for legislative action. #MApoli bostonglobe.com/2023/12/15/opi…

It’s clear: OPCs can save lives, and we need legislation to give municipalities the ability to establish them. OPCs “can be lifelines… and places of empathy, understanding, and healing.” Pass H.1981/S.1242 NOW - our communities can’t wait. #mapoli

.Mass. Public Health updated their preliminary overdose death data from 2022 and released some preliminary data for most of 2023. The numbers don’t lie - too many are dying from overdose. We can save lives by establishing overdose prevention centers. #mapoli wbur.org/news/2023/12/1…

"Anything that could potentially save lives is worth a try.” No one has to die from an overdose. It’s time to pass legislation to authorize #OverdosePreventionCenters in Mass and bend the curve of the overdose crisis. Boston Globe Opinion Mass. Public Health bostonglobe.com/2023/12/15/opi…

.Mass. Public Health estimates there will be over 2,000 opioid-related deaths in MA by the end of 2023. It’s time to pass legislation to allow cities and towns to establish overdose prevention centers, a proven and evidence-based harm reduction tool. #mapoli wbur.org/news/2023/12/1…

Overdose prevention centers save lives, increase access to harm-reduction methods, and link people to treatment. Public health crises require public health solutions—it’s time to allow OPCs in our state. wgbh.org/news/health/20…

Overdose prevention centers prevent lethal overdoses, reduce infections and illness, and increase access to treatment. John F. Keenan visited six of these life-saving facilities to see for himself. Here's what he found⬇️ bostonglobe.com/2024/02/05/opi…

After visiting overdose prevention sites in Canada & the US, I've seen their valuable work and learned if managed properly they save lives without disrupting their surroundings. Thank you to Boston Globe Opinion for sharing my experiences. #MAPoli bostonglobe.com/2024/02/05/opi…
