WILMINGTON — What can we do about the opioid epidemic here in Clinton County? There will be an open community conversation hosted by Your Voice Ohio and area journalists on Sunday afternoon exploring three questions:
• What does the opioid epidemic look like in our community?
• What do we see as causes of the epidemic?
• What steps might we take to combat the opioid epidemic?
“The Opioid Epidemic in Wilmington/Clinton County” will be held 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 18 at the Wilmington Municipal Building, 69 N. South St.

Earlier this week similar events were held in Cincinnati, Dayton and Middletown.
