This November, our Grand Rounds speaker, Jerria Martin, shared a powerful reality: nearly 87,000 Americans died of overdose in one year, enough to fill the Caesars Superdome. Substance use disorder is a mental health issue. A community issue. A human issue.

Let’s continue advocating for awareness, prevention, treatment, and hope.
