COMMUNITY GRATITUDE
First Call’s Annual Community Gratitude Luncheon celebrates those who work tirelessly to reduce the stigma often associated with substance use disorders by recognizing champions who have developed research-based treatment strategies, volunteered their time, donated their dollars and advocated for public policy changes. Doug Tieman will be the keynote speaker at this year’s event.
