Pierce County Opioid Task Force Table Talk: Breakout Discussions on Stopping the Opioid Epidemic Feb. 22, 2019 We have heard from many community partners in Pierce County about their roles in stopping the opioid epidemic. Now it is your turn to talk and share your thoughts. Your table handouts show the priorities and work completed to date of the three Task Force committees. The three Task Force committees worked on efforts in 2018 that have big impacts and are low-effort (low hanging fruit). This was intentionally the first year of work for the Task Force, to make improvements for the “low hanging fruit” priorities. Now moving into the 2nd year, the Task Force recognizes that while this “large impact, low effort” work needs to continue, additional longer-term priorities and strategies may need to be considered. We would like to hear from you.
