Rogers Kicks Off Drug Abuse Summit

  • {Orlando, Florida}...Tuesday, U.S. Representative Harold “Hal” Rogers kicked off the inaugural National Rx Drug Abuse Summit hosted by the southern and eastern Kentucky non-profit anti-drug organization Operation UNITE in Orlando, Florida. "We are here to join forces on an epidemic that quietly began in rural parts of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia one doctor's office at a time and now grips every corner of our great nation in prolific fashion," said Rogers. "When we leave Florida this week, we need everyone on board, echoing the same message we started with when UNITE launched in 2003: "If you're thinking about using drugs, get educated; If you're already addicted, get help; If you're a drug dealer, get out."
