SUMMARY:National Family Caregivers Month
DESCRIPTION:The theme for National Family Caregivers Month is “Caregiving Around the Clock.” \nCaregiving can be a 24-hours a day/7-days a week job. Caring for a senior with Alzheimer’s or a child with special needs can be non-stop. Providing care around the clock can crowd out other important areas of life. And you never know when you will need to rush to the hospital or leave work at the drop of a hat. What challenges do family caregivers face\, and how do they manage them day and night? \nSponsored by the Caregiver Action Network \nContact: info@caregiveraction.org \n(202) 454-3970

SUMMARY:Briefing: California’s Response to the Opioid Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:The opioid epidemic is the worst drug crisis in American history. More than 33\,000 people died of an opioid overdose in 2015 – an almost three-fold increase from 2002. Nearly 2\,000 of those deaths were in California. \nGovernment\, health care providers\, health plans\, law enforcement\, and many others throughout California have been working to respond to the crisis at the local and state levels. Even though there is still much work to be done\, California is starting to see some early successes. While the national death rate continues to climb\, in California it remains stable. California’s Opioid Overdose Surveillance Dashboard shows that opioid prescribing is down and access to effective addiction treatment is increasing. \nThis event will examine the role of state agencies in combating the epidemic. Participants will hear about different collaborative approaches\, including promoting safer prescribing practices\, expanding access to medication-assisted treatment for addiction\, improving communication between prescribers and providers\, among others. \nPlease join the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) for this briefing on Nov. 27 at noon at the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)  Auditorium in Sacramento. Speakers will include: \n\n\nJennifer Kent\, director\, DHCS \n\n\nLance Lang\, MD\, chief medical officer\, Covered California \n\n\nMelanie Fontes Rainer\, JD\, special assistant attorney general\, California Department of Justice \n\n\nKaren Smith\, MD\, director\, California Department of Public Health \n\n\nModerator: Kelly Pfeifer\, MD\, director\, High-Value Care\, CHCF
