The University of Washington’s Addictions, Drug and Alcohol Institute is hosting the third session of Frontline Conversations: Advancing Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Care in Clinical Practice on Wednesday, August 5th, 12-1:30pm.

At the same time, the impacts of untreated substance use disorder continue to impact families, communities, and health care systems. Learn more about the series and register here. (Brittany Weiner)
