This morning, Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Letitia Dzirasa (above, center) met with OSI-Baltimore’s Leadership Council to discuss the Health Department’s ongoing strategic planning process, which includes a series of Community Conversations. The second of six Community Conversations is tonight at the Zeta Center on Reisterstown Road.
Scott Nolen (above, left), director of OSI-Baltimore’s Addiction and Health Equity Program, moderated the discussion. In his introduction, Nolen discussed OSI-Baltimore’s long history of collaboration with the Health Department, some of which is documented in reports on the Baltimore Buprenorphine Initiative and on Baltimore’s response to the opioid epidemic, which was co-released by OSI and the Health Department and includes an introduction by former Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen.
