MEET OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

JANICE SPINNEY, RPh: PRESIDENT AND BOARD CHAIR

Janice is the founder and president of our grassroots organization. She is the mother of four and grandmother of two. During the early days of the opiate epidemic she began to raise alarms as a local pharmacist watching the volume of prescription opiates rise 100 percent in just a few short years. When the opiate epidemic hit her own home and our community’s children started to die from overdose she felt the need to act.

Joining with like minded people she initiated groups and formed actions to bring attention to the opiate epidemic and the need for addiction services and supports for families and individuals seeking help here in the valley. Through her contacts with Memorial Hospital local, White Mountain Community Health Center, Carroll County  public health and state stakeholders, Janice, along with a few very dedicated friends and colleagues developed programs for the past several years for recovery and support. Janice continues to run our Board of Directors and is the owner manager of Valley Independent Pharmacy.
