We were honored to host Michele Reneau and Karen Davenport, NP last year at our office to learn more about the impact of kratom—especially how it affected Karen Davenport’s son—and the proposed bill in his honor.

It meant so much to be part of a discussion focused on awareness, education, and real solutions for those affected. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work, advocacy, and dedication they’ve shown—and we’re so happy to see their efforts coming to fruition.

Together, we continue moving forward to support healthier communities and better access to care. 💙
