The grant will help expand opioid addiction programming by virtually connecting with patients in rural communities who are unable to travel to Marietta to receive in-person care.

Marietta Memorial Hospital is part of Marietta-based Memorial Health System, a nonprofit health system that comprises two hospitals, outpatient care sites and provider clinics.
