Thank you to everyone who attended the third annual Colorado Opioid Safety Summit, co-hosted by CHA and @CO_CDHS! Conference materials and additional opioid safety resources are available here: http://bit.ly/2020OpioidSummit #OpioidSafetyCO

"Expecting people to be at their best when they show up in offices or emergency departments in pain is not going to work."

Thanks to @PierceReadG for sharing ways to develop connections and humanize the relationships with patients when treating chronic pain at #OpioidSafetyCO

Grateful to have the breadth of experience and depth of knowledge from our keynote speakers combined in a powerful panel for a Q&A session at #OpioidSafetyCO. @RyanForRecovery @rcwallermd @dbtady @CO_CDHS

Director Robert Werthwein from @CO_CDHS shares how six mobile units are taking MAT and other recovery resources out to rural Colorado. Learn more about this awesome pilot program: http://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs/mobileunits #opioidsafetyco

Our summit partner @CO_CDHS showcased the #RecoveryCardsProject - cards designed to celebrate recovery, the efforts of those working to achieve it and the people who support and encourage them every day. #OpioidSafetyCO http://recoverycardsproject.com

Excited to bring breakout sessions for #opioidsafetyco attendees to focus on different facets of the #opioidepidemic, including a #harmreduction simulation room, ways to engage communities in MAT and addressing opioid addiction in the hospital with @RichBottner.

"We have to do better." @COAttnyGeneral shares how we must use every tool in our toolbox to address the opioid crisis and change the system. That includes preserving the ACA, engaging on opioid manufacturer litigation and supporting community recovery programs. #opioidsafetyco

Our panel discusses the challenges and opportunities in the pilot for hospitalists to introduce alternatives to opioids for hospital inpatients. @SkyRidgeMed @HealthONEsystem @SCLHealth and @LongmontUnited @CenturaHealth

Thank you to @rcwallermd for coming back to our summit this year to challenge our audience on how we can build an interconnected care system that meets the needs of all of those in recovery. #opioidsafetyco

From @RyanForRecovery Drug overdose has overtaken car accidents as the leading cause of accidental deaths in the US. @JeromeAdamsMD suggests that we focus on enabling people to carry Naloxone much the way we train people to perform CPR #opioidsafetyco

We are grateful to have @RyanForRecovery here to share some of his story and how we can all work together to demand immediate reform and change the conversation to help those in recovery. #opioidsafetyco

We are grateful to the @Surgeon_General for sharing lots of resources available to help us continue to end this opioid epidemic and to build the programs and systems now to stop the next "fire" from starting. https://addiction.surgeongeneral.gov/ and https://pcssnow.org/ #opioidsafetyco

Thank you @Surgeon_General! #opioidsafetyco

It's our great pleasure to welcome @Surgeon_General VADM Jerome Adams, MD, to set our focus for the summit today. "The opioid epidemic touches all of us. Even if you are the Surgeon General of the United States, it still impacts your family." #opioidsafetyco

We are thrilled to partner with @CO_CDHS for the 3rd annual CO Opioid Safety Summit - convening more than 400 health care leaders to discuss innovation and the sustainability of opioid safety programs in our state! #opioidsafetyco
