@PAHealthDept "As the face of this epidemic continues to change, @PAHealthDept is committed to equitably reducing overdose deaths & connecting individuals with #SUD support & services."
"We believe that this epidemic cannot be curtailed if we work alone in silos. We must utilize our collective resources, expertise, and determination to improve Pennsylvania's response to the overdose epidemic." - Muneeza Iqbal, @PAHealthDept Deputy Secretary
As the temperature drops, more people tend to get sick with respiratory diseases. That’s why @PAHealthDept and @PAInsuranceDept are urging everyone to get vaccinated, especially since most insurance plans will cover the costs.
