College of Medicine

In Florida, an estimated 17 people die every day from opioid abuse. To combat the issue, Attorney General Ashely Moody and Governor Ron DeSantis have created a new statewide task force. Heather Flynn, professor and vice-chair at the FSU College of Medicine was appointed to the taskforce. She hopes to focus on helping pregnant women who are addicted to opioids--something she says can cause life-long complications for the child.
