A very interesting video of the LWV La Plata County 7 month healthcare insurance survey:
https://youtu.be/crAMnR9S1TQ
Annette Cannon, Jeffco Coroner, LWVJeffco member, and Health IG member, shares important information on the drug overdose epidemic:
"I recently was offered an opportunity as the Jefferson County Coroner to participate in some Overdose Prevention videos.. A fellow board member on the RETAC (Regional Emergency and Trauma Advisory Council) had connected me with a person named Pamela Gould, MPH. Pamela is a Certified Prevention Specialist with Jeffco Public Health. She asked if I could record a few video clips from a coroner’s point of view regarding overdose prevention and to address overdose deaths in Jefferson County. Of course, I accepted, and she came to my office with her camera. There are some very important messages in the videos.
Two videos were created, and both were placed on two different websites. The videos are geared towards teens, but have valuable resources and information for adults also. May 10 has been declared as National Fentanyl Awareness Day! With that in mind, the videos were released to the public on that day.Please take a few moments to watch and then share them with everyone you know (children, grandchildren, neighbors, friends, groups, organization, etc.) They are not specific to Jeffco, so please share freely."
Please help me in my efforts to prevent overdoses and overdose deaths in Jefferson County.
