Rx Safe Marin: Addressing the Opioid Epidemic at a Local Level

rx-safe-marin-addressing-the-opioid-epidemic-at-a-local-level

11,300,413 opioid pills were prescribed in Marin County last year alone. That’s roughly 44 pills for every man, woman, and child in Marin. It’s clear that even here, in one of the nation’s healthiest counties, we are not immune to the opioid epidemic. This interview with Dr. Mathew Willis, Public Health Officer for Marin County, provides a clear-eyed perspective on Marin’s opioid problem.


Dr. Willis also talks about RX Safe Marin, an innovative community wide coalition to address the epidemic at the local level. RX Safe Marin provides an infrastructure for educators, law enforcement, healthcare providers, pharmacists, elected officials, and others to collaborate across systems in combatting the opioid crisis in our community.
