Walden Announces Grants To Fight Opioid Abuse

Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden announced Thursday that Oregon will receive over six-point-five million dollars in grants from the Department of Health and Human Services to be used for the prevention of opioid abuse and treatment for those affected.  That matches a similar amount the state received in the first round of grants under the 21st Century Cures Act last April.  During a speech on the floor of the House, the Hood River Republican said opioids are impacting all of America.  Walden called combating the opioid crisis in Oregon and across the country his top priority as Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
