A Message from County Executive
Adam J. Bello:
"Significant changes at the federal level are impacting the important work of our community partners, and earlier this month my administration had to work quickly reinstate 24-7 addiction services at Delphi Rise. It’s the only place in Monroe County where people struggling with addiction can get help when they need it. You can read more about that, and about our ongoing efforts to increase the availability of Narcan to prevent overdose deaths, below. In more hopeful news, Spring is here and it’s time to get outside and celebrate nature, whether it’s by planting trees, as I did recently to recognize Arbor Day, or by getting ready for the Lilac Festival, coming up soon! Hope to see you there!"
