Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker, chairwoman of the Heroin and Opiate Epidemic Advisory Panel, invites residents to a public hearing of the panel on Thursday, October 24th, at 5:30 PM in the Riverhead Legislative Auditorium. The meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to speak before the panel.
Introduced through legislation in July 2017 by Legislator Anker, the Suffolk County Heroin and Opiate Advisory Panel was established with the goal of providing ongoing guidance and input to the county in combating the opiate epidemic through preventative education, enhancement of law enforcement efforts, and aiding in the treatment and rehabilitation of those addicted to opiates and heroin. The ever-evolving nature of the opiate epidemic requires continuous commitment to identify new resources and additional funding sources, and provide for greater focus on educating the public about addiction.
