Here are three notes:
1. We Care introduced NorthStar Pain Management and Physical Therapy to several groups, including 180 Health Partners and the Child Advocacy Center.
2. Child Advocacy Center works to raise awareness of child abuse issues, including the use of pain medication by expecting mothers. To prevent unborn children from developing opioid tolerance, 180 Health Partners serves as a resource for women who have been on a pain management regimen and become pregnant.
