Senate health committee Chairman Sen. Lamar Alexander said that Tennessee is set to receive $30.8 million to combat the opioid crisis.
Alexander said the funding will help health centers in Tennessee, from hire more staff and ensure they are equipped to fight the crisis; provide more medication-assisted treatment to patients; help our rural communities tackle opioid addiction; and support programs that prevent more Tennesseans from becoming addicted to opioids.
These grants are funded by appropriations legislation passed by Congress in March.
