Representative Blasdel Appointed to the OneOhio Recovery Foundation Board

Representative Monica Robb-Blasdel (R-Columbiana) was recently appointed by Speaker of the House Matt Huffman (R-Lima) to serve on the OneOhio Recovery Foundation Board. The OneOhio Recovery Foundation board is made up of 29 members, including 19 individuals selected by regional groups that partner with the Foundation in identifying organizations to receive funds. 

“It is a great honor to be appointed to the Governing Board of the OneOhio Recovery Foundation, and I am grateful to Speaker Huffman for this responsibility,” said Blasdel. “The opioid epidemic has scarred Ohio’s communities for decades and I am eager to get to work, ensuring community-based organizations have the necessary resources to combat this crisis through prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts.” 

The OneOhio Recovery Foundation is a nonprofit organization created at the direction of the State of Ohio and local leaders to distribute 55 percent of the funds our state will receive from the pharmaceutical industry as a consequence of its role in the national opioid epidemic. The Foundation works with local interests to support substance misuse prevention, treatment and recovery efforts and invest funds to support these efforts for Ohioans into the future.
