AG, DPH to host virtual forum about statewide opioid settlements on June 24

Attorney General Maura Healey’s office and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will host a virtual forum about the statewide opioid settlements on Friday, June 24, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

The forum will provide information about settlements with opioid distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal and McKesson and opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson. Attendees will learn about when and how abatement funds from these settlements will start flowing to the state’s Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund, as well as to participating municipalities, and how those funds can be and are being used to combat the opioid epidemic.

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

Representing DPH will be its Bureau of Substance Addiction Services and Office of Local and Regional Health.

The audience will include municipal officials, local health boards, community-based organizations, and the public.
