Hendersonville launches HopeRx to curb prescription drug abuse
Julie and Don Huneycutt tell how their daughter Anna died at 20 amid addiction. The HopeRx program, formed by the Partnership for Health of Henderson County, aims to mobilize medicine, law enforcement, and mental health services. A community conversation is planned for November 7 at BRCC with further town hall efforts next spring. Sheriff Stout links overdoses to rising property crime as prescription abuse drives thefts and addiction across families.
