Change Agent Pain Summit Design Team Member and Chronic Pain Advocate Christin Veasley is featured in an article on the National Pain Report. Christin points out that though the NIH's National Pain Strategy is a groundbreaking blueprint for better chronic pain care and understanding, it's not a priority on the federal level. Can California be a leader in moving this critical policy recommendation to the next level? Christin says "yes", and so do we!

Pain patients access to effective treatments, including opioids, was the lead topic of For Grace Spokesperson Cynthia Toussaint's recent appearance on KCAL 9 in Los Angeles. She stated that during the current opioid crisis, it's important to remember that millions of people with pain are physically dependent on these drugs to maintain quality of life. Cynthia also spoke about For Grace's quickly approaching, groundbreaking Change Agent Pain Summit - which can be viewed live on For Grace's Facebook page beginning at 9am PST on November 2nd!
