A recent analysis of statewide mortality data concluded that Ohio set a one-month record in May, exceeding 500 overdose deaths for the first time ever.

Today on Wellness Wednesday on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we discuss the pandemic’s impact on overdose deaths.

Guests:

  • Dennis Cauchon, president,
  • Dr. Emily Kauffman, emergency medicine physician,
  • Gretchen Reynolds, columnist,
  • Jessica Roach, founder and executive director,
