Opioids - Live or Die

The Rotary Club of Galena will host the annual Rotary Roundtable.  The topic is the opioid crisis, and we hope to get students from around Jo Daviess County to participate, along with health professionals, the business community, and interested citizens.

Over 47,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses in 2017 alone - the last year for which data is readily available, and the highest year of all time.  The number has grown each year, with less than 17,000 in 1999 growing to the 2017 total, with increases every single year and no sign or indication it will diminish in the coming years.

What is the "Opioid Crisis"?  What drives it?  Who does it affect?  Can it be solved?  What can YOU do to help?  We hope to address all these questions and more, and conclude with actionable data that students and adults can take with them to address this national tragedy in the coming year.
