Fentanyl poses severe threat
The nation is on the downside of the sixth surge of the COVID Omicron variant, monkeypox is on the emerging and fentanyl is a rising deadly threat.
That sums up the message from Dr. Tina Stefanski, regional medical director for the Louisiana Department of Health’s (LDH) Office of Public Health in Acadiana (Region 4).
Stefanski and Stacy Conrad, opioid prevention outreach coordinator for the office of Public Health Region 4, spoke at Wednesday’s Eunice Rotary Club meeting.
Their focus was on fentanyl, a synthetic drug causing an increasing number of deaths.
