West Virginia: Finding the Right Path Forward
By: Matthew C. Weinzierl, Christine Keung and Reggie Smith
Abstract

With beautiful but challenging topography, a proud but shrinking population, and a new scourge of the opioid epidemic, the Mountain State was looking to find a path through to the other side.
