Dr. Wen Attends First Maryland Black Caucus Public Hearing in Annapolis

On Thursday, Dr. Wen was invited to Annapolis by Delegate Glenn to speak on behalf of the Baltimore City Health Department at the Black Caucus’ first-ever public hearing. While there, she spoke about some of the major issues faced by the black community in Baltimore City. One of the most important issues for legislation in the upcoming session will be related to the opioid epidemic, in particular heroin, because it has a disproportionate negative impact on our black communities.
