Project Opioid Central Florida

Our Mission Project Opioid CFL aligns leaders around 1 shared goal: to reduce overdose deaths caused or contributed by lethal opioids, like fentanyl. About Us Project Opioid was founded in 2018 to respond to one of the most devastating man-made public health crises of the 21st century: the modern overdose crisis, primarily fueled by opioids. Project Opioid was created with idea that building coalitions of top leaders, many from the business, philanthropic, & faith community, is the first step in creating real progress. While our public sector & other frontline advocates have long worked on this public health crisis, the reality is that without the support of influential leaders in all sectors, that are empowered to respond to this crisis and save lives, we will not find solutions & rescue those in need. We know that saving lives requires building coalitions of influential leaders & engaging those working on the frontlines of our communities. The urgency has reached a level of intensity that has escalated the imperative for leaders to get more involved in this deadly crisis. Our leaders, who hail from top companies, hospitals, law enforcement, congregations, foundations, as well as leaders from local governments are heroes. The time for leaders to act is now and that is why Project Opioid is launching the Overdose Initiative, a community strategy that aims to reduce overdoses & related deaths across our community and in regions around Florida. 1.
