Summary: Media throughout the country have been reporting on the opioids epidemic for years, but it's been plaguing the country for much longer. So what are our paths forward? In a yearlong, six-part series, The Morning Call seeks answers from community stakeholders. This episode is the first installment. Reporters Laurie Mason Schoeder and Pam Lehman and cops editor Will Scheihing sit down with host Kayla Dwyer to break down the inspiration for this project and reflect on the first roundtable discussion, featuring five local first responders. Valley View is a production of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Music in this episode is by Martin Gratton and Paul Lawler.
