Houston P. A. hosted by Laurent
Houston P.A. is a weekly program of conversation hosted by Laurent Fouilloud-Buyat (just call him Laurent, pronounced low-ront). Each week, Laurent invites you to meet the people who make Houston unique: the museum curators, scientists, writers, dancers, musicians, civil servants, the neighbor who used to be an alcoholic but is now in recovery, and the one who has donated two gallons of blood in his lifetime ... they're on Houston Public Affairs, the show about the people of Houston.

Dr. Stephen Nesbit is the chief medical officer of HCA Houston Healthcare. The company has spent over $2 Billion on philanthropic causes and they're putting their experts behind Crush the Crisis – Opioid Take Back Days. The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that every day, more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The majority are abusing legally distributed prescription drugs like those "left over in grandma's medicine cabinet." HCA Houston Healthcare participated in a very successful anonymous drug take-back program a month ago and future events will be a big part of the solution.
