Wallingford, CT – The Connecticut Certification Board offers its gratitude to Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murphy and all those in his office for its landmark report on Alcohol, Drugs and Health.  This is the first such report from the Surgeon General’s office on a topic that affects all Americans, whether it be directly or indirectly.  Dr. Murthy’s hope that we can solve this overarching problem with a response of prevention, treatment and recovery supports is echoed by the Directors and staff of the CCB.

CCB Executive Director Jeffrey Quamme, on behalf of the entire agency, remains committed to increasing the professionalism and competency of the workforce and comments that “the CCB will support Dr. Murthy’s vision by remaining true to the agency’s mission of protecting the public by enhancing recovery oriented workforce capacity.”
