COMMUNITY
Making a Difference
Much of our work involves measuring the difference others make. Getting involved and making our own difference is also an important part of who we are as individuals and as an organization.
The 2018 Medical Examiner's Report is now available and includes important data that can be used to inform our local prevention efforts. The Medical Exmainer has been a longstanding partner of the Methamphetamine Strike Force (MSF) and Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force (PDATF). As mentioned in the report, we will be releasing the MSF and PDATF Report Cards later this year with more detailed information on drug involved deaths throughout San Diego County.
