GREENFIELD – Sarah Ahern stood on Federal Street with several others on a recent cool summer night, clutching a large folder to her chest and mourning the loss of more than 70 people who have died of overdose or addiction-related complications in Franklin County over the past few years.
“In the first quarter of this year, we saw a significant increase in the region,” Ahern said Monday night at the RECOVER Project vigil. “Isolation does that, it feeds the disease.”
