About Us
Physician and veteran-lead, Opioid Free America is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to ending the opioid crisis through advocacy, education, prescribing analytics, and certification programs that advance higher-quality, opioid-free care.
We believe prevention starts at the source – stopping addiction before it begins, rather than just treating its aftermath. Opioid Free America is shaping a healthier future by advancing responsible prescribing, reducing unnecessary opioid exposure, and supporting better treatment options.
Real solutions require bold ideas, collaborative leadership, and measurable results. By prioritizing prevention, we are saving lives and building a stronger, healthier tomorrow.
