Health & Human Services 6/2/2026

The Saratoga County Health & Human Services meeting on June 2, 2026, focused primarily on the continuation and success of an opioid addiction awareness and prevention program funded through opioid settlement monies. The program includes presentations and discussions led by professionals such as Stephen Hill and Chris Herren, targeting schools and parents to educate about addiction risks. The county has allocated settlement funds to support these efforts, with plans to continue and possibly expand the program in the upcoming year. There was discussion about increasing parental attendance at evening sessions, potentially making attendance mandatory for parents of student athletes, though such decisions rest with individual schools. The meeting concluded with approval of the program continuation and scheduling plans, with no other procurement or contract awards discussed.
