As a member of @HouseCommerce #SubHealth, we just wrapped-up a 2 day hearing focusing on combating the #opioid crisis w/prevention & #publichealth solutions. Part of the conversation included focusing on how poison control centers are already on the front lines of this crisis.
This week, I joined @RepEliotEngel @RepJoeBarton & @RepDianaDeGette to introduce H.R.5329, the Poison Center Network Enhancement Act. This #bipartisan bill reauthorizes funding for the poison control center's toll-free number >>https://susanwbrooks.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/brooks-engel-barton-degette-introduce-bipartisan-poison-control-bill-to …
Since 2011, poison control centers have been working #behindthescenes to fight against the #opioidepidemic & have handled about 500,000 cases of opioid misuse & abuse – that’s approximately 192 cases per day, every day.
In one month alone, there were 9,039 #opioid exposures reported to poison control centers nationwide.
Poison control centers save countless lives, prevent toxic exposure & poisoning injury, and reduce billions of dollars in unnecessary #healthcare costs. The data poison centers collect can even be used to identify hotspots for opioid misuse & overdose.
I'm proud to introduce a bill that will help those who find themselves in an emergency situation by enhancing the centers within the National Poison Data System that offer free, confidential, expert medical advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. >>https://susanwbrooks.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/brooks-engel-barton-degette-introduce-bipartisan-poison-control-bill-to …
Well those people, CDC, told then Governor Pence there was a drug epidemic and he denied help! The Governor was not listening and apparently neither were you!
