Opioid overdose is the #1 killer of 18-45 year olds in America. The crisis is not over, and we are still prescribing these addictive substances for pain management at an alarming rate with little support or anything else in the arsenal to offer. Until now…

Cammie Wolf Rice, the Founder and CEO of the CWC Alliance, has pioneered a new role on the hospital healthcare team, a LifeCare Specialist. These individuals come from a variety of backgrounds, but all undergo specific training to be able to provide patients with opioid education, mental & social wellness support, and effective pain management strategies.

After losing her 32 year old son, Christopher, to opioid misuse, Cammie channeled her grief into action, founding CWC Alliance in 2018 and publishing her story, The Flight: My Opioid Journey, in 2022. This approach has since been adopted in eight hospitals across the country, was selected as the subject of a Harvard Business School case study, and was named the top recommendation by Georgia’s 2024 House Study Committee on Alternatives to Opioids.
