As emergency physicians and leaders in public health, we applaud efforts by Challenge Seattle [“Fentanyl, mental health, homelessness: They intersect in the ER,” Feb. 16, Opinion] to address some of the most pressing issues facing our community. The attention and resources of such dedicated public servants, business leaders, philanthropists and others are needed if we are to find bold and meaningful solutions to help people experiencing homelessness, using drugs and suffering from mental illness.
