Rochester is one of the communities scheduled for an upcoming forum on heroin and opioid addiction. The State Senate task force will also meet in several other communities to examine the issues created by increased heroin abuse which officials say is causing hundreds of deaths in communities across the state.
The task force includes area State Senators Rich Funke (R), Mike Nozzolio (R), and Joe Robach (R).
The Monroe County hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 6 to 8 p.m., at St. John Fisher College Wegmans School of Nursing Building.
The senators say they want to get input from stakeholders and experts and use the information collected to develop recommendations for legislative action.
