Episode 1: Kayce was my daughter

The opioid crisis is a reality for all of us. In this series, we go in-depth on what YOU can do about it in your emergency department (ED). This is the first of six episodes brought to you by California ACEP on medication assisted treatment or MAT. Dr. Steve Anderson, an experienced emergency physician, tells his own compelling story of why he is leading the charge in his ED to combat opioid addiction.
