With Dr. Mutulu Shakur\, stepfather of Tupac Shukur\, serving as the frontman\, the detox program helped hundreds of patients in a safe and effective way and ultimately led to a protocol practiced in over 600 health care facilities in the U.S. alone.  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/dope-is-death-film-discounts/ CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200324T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200327T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155119Z CREATED:20231025T162224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155119Z UID:24368-1585011600-1585270800@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Aging in America Conference DESCRIPTION:March 24-27 in Atlanta \nThe theme for the 2020 conference is Aging 2020: Examining the Needs of Today’s Diverse Older Adults.
