** Together We Can End Addiction and the Opioid Epidemic
------------------------------------------------------------

We’re in the middle of a war. Addiction is one of the greatest – if not THE greatest – health crises of our time. Drug overdoses are now the #1 cause of unintentional death in the United States; and according to the WHO, globally, around 31 million people have drug use disorders. The challenge is complex, but at least the problem is clear, said Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=3d1aab6f2c&e=ec25e68ef1) , in a recent sit-down with StartUp Health. As such, Gupta added, "there should be incredible innovation around all aspects of [the opioid epidemic]."

We couldn’t agree more. At StartUp Health, we’ve launched an urgent Health Moonshot to end addiction and the opioid epidemic. We believe that with global collaboration and innovative health treatments we can make addiction a crisis of the past. Join the movement (https://startuphealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b5e9c627761550fb3157fdb9&id=6c99117bf7&e=ec25e68ef1) .
