“We’ve got to focus. Treatment and recovery are important conversations, but upstream early intervention, education, prevention are just as important,” he said. “And that’s where we’re lacking at the moment.”

He sat with representatives from the city’s recovery community, Geisinger, Commonwealth Health, The Wright Center, Scranton School District, United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, Friendship House, WVIA and more.
