Our focus was on migitating opioid risk by <br /> concentrating on non-opioid or non-drug therapies. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> Board of Health, Orange County Health Department (1991-2000); Chair (1995-2000) <br /> Orange County Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee (1992- <br /> 1997) Health Department Representative, UNC Hospitals Managed Care Committee <br /> (1997-1998) <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Opioid Advisory Committee <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> In speaking with Dr. Evan Ashkin, I heard about the vacancies on the Opioid Advisory <br /> Committee, and wish to be considered for it.

This is say that I am well aware of the issues associated with the opioid epidemic, and <br /> that there are a number of solutions to be considered. It would be an honor to be considered for <br /> one of the vacancies as there is a lot to be done, and i would like to contribute here in Orange <br /> County. <br /> As noted previously, I have directed the Chronic Pain Program in the Department of Medicine at <br /> UNC.
