The theme for this year’s Head for the Hills Conference & Retreat is Prescription Addiction.  GMEC has gathered some of the leading experts on prescription drug misuse from around the state and the surrounding Appalachian region, and we are excited to let them share their knowledge with you!

Over the next several weeks, we will be sharing guest blogs and synopses from many of these featured experts as an introduction to their upcoming presentations at HftH 2017. This week’s featured speaker is Phil Hagwood, Senior Special Agent, Virginia State Police.
