Stanley Street
Treatment and Resources' (SSTAR) CEO Nancy Paull hosted Massachusetts
Secretary of Health and Human Services John
Polanowicz and Department of Public Health Commissioner Cheryl
Bartlett for an extended visit on August 15, 2015. The officials
toured SSTAR's South
End Services at 1010 South Main Street as well as the newly-renovated
facility at 386 Stanley Street so they could get a better idea of the
resources available to treat people for opioid and other addictions in
concert with treating their healthcare needs. The visit also afforded them
to the chance to see "how we're addressing it with open access and
integrated behavioral healthcare," stated Ms. Paull. Following the
two tours and lunch, a larger group of local treatment providers and city
and state elected officials, including State Representatives Carole
Fiola and Fall River Human Services Director Dr.
Henry Vaillancourt, met for a roundtable discussion. Click
