New Episode of ‘Vorys at Work’ Podcast Dives into the Impact of Opioids in the Workplace

In the latest episode of “Vorys at Work,” Jackie Ford talks with Vorys health care lawyer and registered nurse Robin Amicon about the pharmacology of opioid addiction and about testing, training, and accommodation issues for employers dealing with opioid-related issues.
