In October, we held the Harvard University and University of Michigan summit on the opioid crisis: Stigma and Access to Treatment, which FXB Director Dr. Mary T. Bassett cochaired with the University of Michigan's Dr. Chad Brummett. More than 400 people attended, with people from 14 countries watching online. We had help from so many, including the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Dean Office, the Office of the Harvard President, our University of Michigan colleagues. We particularly thank those with lived experience: their contributions added so much, as did the many references to racial disparities in treatment.
