CINCINNATI — Hamilton County will receive over $3 million in funding to help combat overdoses, according to a press release from Senator Sherrod Brown's office. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded nearly $15 million total to the Ohio Department of Health and to Hamilton, Franklin and Cuyahoga counties specifically aimed at reducing overdose deaths. The funding came from the CDC's Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) program, which is designed to help communities respond quickly, effectively and equitably to drug overdose issues through data collection and engagement in communities.
