Since 2015 Clark County Cares and its many partners have met weekly to educate and update each other on the drug epidemic in our region.It started with 92 deaths in Clark County in 2015. We convened out of a desperate sorrow to find answers to a scourge that was killing so many in our community from all walks of life: rich, poor, young, old, male, female, educated, and those with little education. Some were old and some were young. Parents, the children of many we knew, and grandparents. The drugs really did not care who fell victim to their poison, so many of us who gathered did have ties to those who had lost their battle with drugs.
