The county now has a fully functioning Post Overdose Response Team. Many citizens have benefited from this approach and the team continues to work to help others on their recovery journey. Receiving the award is Deputy County Manager Ron Hunt, Commissioners Sherry Lucas, JoAnne Daniels and Vice Chair Leslie Atkinson. The Opioid Multidisciplinary Team will be formally presented the award at the Board of Commissioners Meeting in October.
