Mayor Seeks Partnership To Fight Drugs

Springfield officials are continuing  to combat the opioid crisis in the city. 

 Mayor Domenic Sarno held a  meeting yesterday with representatives of law enforcement, the city's  health and human services commissioner, the governor's office, eastern  Massachusetts-based Column Health, Mercy and Saint Francis hospitals,  and a local citizens council to develop a plan.  

Sarno says he's hopeful  the city can pursue a public-private partnership to attack the crisis  and says police efforts must be supplemented with "wrap around services"  of health, mental health, and recovery coaches and treatment aspects.
