Overview

This educational activity is jointly provided by AXIS Medical Education and HAP.

United by the common goal of reducing overdose deaths, during the last 24 months, several hundred health care leaders have engaged in HAP’s Opioid Learning Action Network (LAN). Together the learning community worked to identify and scale the solutions necessary to curtail the commonwealth’s overdose crisis.

Don’t miss the LAN Capstone Conference, where participants will share insights on their experiences and knowledge gained through the collaborative, describe accomplishments in improving opioid used disorder (OUD) care, showcase best practices, and discuss how to move forward into the future.
