Special thanks to Cammie Rice and the Life Care Specialists of the Christopher Wolf Crusade that helped contribute to this project, and for their tireless efforts to work alongside healthcare teams, provide pain management strategies and wellness skills, and educate patients about the dangers of extended opioid use.
