County Executive Jan Gardner formed a Heroin Consortium to bring together county agencies, non-profits, and other community partners to work together to effectively address substance abuse and to reduce overdose and fatalities. Many of the community partners are already actively involved in addressing this issue, and the consortium will facilitate communication, encourage the sharing of information and resources, and produce a unified response to the challenges facing Frederick County residents.
