Stephanie Strong, CEO, Boulder
Stephanie Strong is the CEO of Boulder, which has been blazing a trail in the virtual treatment of substance use disorder.

Why is the National Academies Appointing Alcohol-Industry Funded Researchers to Serve on Panel to Review the Health Effects of Alcohol?

Dr. Rimmshould be removed from the National Academies panel in order to
