As stated in a previous article by BladenOnline, “The Bladen County Substance Misuse Task Force has been committed to making a positive difference for many years. The task force members consist of elected officials, law enforcement, mental health providers, officials from the County of Bladen, Bladen Community College officials, health care professionals, Bladen County Schools, faith-based leaders, parents, concerned citizens, and those in recovery.”

Dr. Cathy Gantz, Coordinator of Bladen County Substance Misuse Task Force, announced that the next meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday, July 20th, at 6:30 pm in the Bladen Community College auditorium, Building 9.
