The Stone County Community Health Coalition is beginning implementation of a Mega Grant for the purpose of Marijuana Prevention and Education.

Monica Mueller, Community Health Specialist for the Stone County Health Department along with Grant Administrator Sharon Perkins, during an interview on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program says the grant will allow for Education Opportunities for learning about the dangers of Marijuana Addiction just as certain types of Medical Marijuana are now legal in Missouri.

Perkins is undergoing training in the program and she along with Mueller are working with School Districts and other organizations to provide opportunities to talk meet and discuss various topics. Mueller is also continuing work on education on other forms of addiction including Opioids.
