Health
Clinic Downtown Provides Free Cardiovascular Care
In 2008, Dr. Michael
Imburgia and a group of his colleagues approached their bosses at Baptist Health
with a question. After working at the hospital for many years, they recognized
a need from the community that they had not been able to address. They decided
they wanted to provide free care to patients without insurance. The doctors
asked their bosses if they could use the space at Baptist Health to begin
providing free cardiovascular care, including checkups on heart issues and
follow-ups when necessary. Their supervisors said yes — and with that, the Have
A Heart Foundation was born.

![drugs](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/KYLOUISVILLE/2017/07/1437051/1422574/drug-enforcement-logo_crop.jpg) The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration today released the 2017 edition of Drugs of Abuse, A DEA Resource Guide.
The Drugs of Abuse guide is released on a periodic basis and designed to be a reliable resource on the most commonly abused and misused drugs in the United States. The guide provides important science-based information about the harms and consequences of drug use, describing a drug’s effects on the body and mind, overdose potential, origin, legal status, and other key factors. The 2017 edition updates the 2015 Drugs of Abuse publication with the most current information on new and emerging trends in drug misuse and abuse, including fentanyl, other opioids, and synthetic drugs.
Because education plays a critical role in preventing substance abuse, this comprehensive guide is intended as a tool not just for medical practitioners and law enforcement officials, but also for educators, families, and communities. Drugs of Abuse also offers a list of additional drug education and prevention resources, including the DEA websites: www.DEA.gov, www.getsmartaboutdrugs.com for parents, www.justthinktwice.com for teens, and www.operationprevention.com for teachers.
