UMADAOP Expresses Appreciation for Community Collaborations

 

UMADAOP of Lucas County is very appreciative of the collective community collaborations with East Toledo's town hall held on Wednesday February 27, 2019, addressing the opioid epidemic that is impacting so many families. The town hall was held at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (611 Woodville Rd) along with their community dinner.

 

Pastor Beth Giller and ministries, the City of Toledo Councilman Peter Ujvagi’s office, and Cumulus Radio host Eric Chase of Q105.5 worked together to bring awareness, information and resources to communities and neighbors of East Toledo. 

 

The professional panel included: Kim Toles (Lucas County Health Dept.); Deb Chaney (SCAT); Caren Steinmiller, PhD, (University of Toledo); Tamme Smith (Lucas County D.A.R.T.); Cynthia Brown-Chery (MHRSB of Lucas County); Lt. Zakaryia Reed (Toledo Fire and Rescue) and a host of community leaders, public officials, media outlets, agencies and service providers. 

 

Life-changing testimonials were shared and heard from friends in the community, that embraced the "Joy of Recovery".  The audience weighed in with conversations and surveys that included "High Remarks" for Dr. Steinmiller, Eric Chase, and the panel. Nearly 200 guests received door prizes from Michael's Cafe and Bakery and McDonalds. 

 

UMADAOP will continue to support St. Mark's efforts to provide caring resources and services throughout the community in which they serve.
