Drug Giant Blasted For Placing Wv Baby Rehab Clinic On Fault List In Opioid Crisis

By Eric Eyre Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Rep. Evan Jenkins, R-W.Va., had harsh words for drug giant Cardinal Health on Thursday, saying the company shouldn't have listed a Huntington neonatal clinic in a federal court filing that seeks to spread the blame for the area's opioid crisis. Lily's Place, a nationally recognized clinic that cares for drug-exposed babies, was one of more than 1,900 organizations, pharmacies, doctors and other groups that Cardinal Health identified as having "potential fault" in Huntington's opioid problem, according to notice filed by the Dublin, Ohio-based drug distributor. "Cardinal Health should be ashamed of its accusations against Lily's Place," said Jenkins, who is running for the Senate in the GOP primary.
