EF Convening with UCI Towards New OUD Healing Center

Etheridge Foundation Advisor Greg Mech convened a special gathering hosted by our partners UC Irvine on February 20, in support of our shared project: creating a Center for Transformative Healing of Opioid Use Disorder.

The event featured a fireside chat with Melissa Etheridge and a thoughtful panel discussion with Etheridge Foundation Executive Director Anna Symonds, and UCI Deans Jan Hirsch and Bill Maurer.

Equally exciting, Melissa surprised everyone by pulling out her guitar and playing a brand new song live for us! (It was incredibly moving, and we know that her fans are going to adore this song when it’s released.)

Funding efforts for the Center are underway - philanthropists interested in supporting this effort, please contact us!
