Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long

“As Lt. Governor of Delaware I have focused my time on helping those who are suffering from addiction and mental health challenges. I am thrilled that after years of hard work by Attorney General Jennings we now have access to these settlement funds to provide much needed help to those in Delaware affected by the opioid crisis. As the Chair of the Behavioral Health Consortium which oversees the Prescription Opioid Settlement Distribution Commission (POSDC), I am looking forward to working with our partners to make sure every dollar is used to help build back up the communities who have been most affected.”

Attorney General Kathy Jennings

“I’m proud of the work that my office has done to hold Big Pharma accountable and to secure significant funds to combat the opioid crisis in Delaware — but securing money is only half the battle. The Prescription Opioid Settlement Distribution Commission is an independent, collaborative group of Delaware leaders, policymakers, and public advocates with one mission: ensuring that the resources from Delaware’s opioid settlements go exactly, and exclusively, where they’re needed. The Commission is more than a steward of a precious public resource; it is a voice for the people of Delaware, who have paid the real price of the opioid crisis.”
