Substance abuse is a chronic medical condition affecting millions of Americans.  Licking Memorial Health Systems invites the community to attend Prevention Starts with All: The Chris Herren Story on Tuesday, August 30, at 5:30 p.m., in the Granville High School Auditorium.  Chris is a former professional basketball player who struggled with substance use for many years and shares his story from addiction to sobriety with a goal of making a positive difference in the lives of others.  In this very personal presentation, Chris addresses the issue of substance use and addiction, and how we can work together as a community to advocate for effective treatment and embrace the power of recovery.
