Opioid Addiction

Opioids continue to be a topic of heated debate across the country and here in Wyoming. The Wyoming Medical Society is ensuring that the physician perspective is top-of-mind for state lawmakers as they work to find and create solutions for Wyomingites.

WMS Opioid Task Force

WMS created a small group of physicians representing various specialties most closely involved with the opioid discussion. This WMS Opioid Task Force convenes regularly and makes recommendations to the WMS Board of Trustees. Members of the task force are listed below along with contact information in the event that any WMS member wishes to talk with a member in more depth about the group’s work, or offer suggestions, input and feedback
