Bill Clinton In Baltimore On Monday

BALTIMORE, MD — Former POTUS Bill Clinton is going to be in Baltimore on Monday, Oct. 30. During his visit, Clinton will be appearing at an opioid summit in Baltimore City and a literacy event in Baltimore County.

At 10 a.m., Clinton will moderate a summit at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health about opioids. Baltimore Health Commissioner Leana Wen and U.S. Rep Elijah Cummings are among the panelists.

The summit, entitled "The Opioid Epidemic: From Evidence to Impact," coincides with a report of the same name being released by the Clinton Foundation and Johns Hopkins School of Public Health detailing research and recommendations related to opioids.

The summit will be live-streamed on C-SPAN, featuring leaders from law enforcement, public health, business, government, labor and employment. It runs from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Sommer Hall, 615 North Wolfe Street.

Clinton's appearance in Baltimore is the first event on a three-day itinerary designed to highlight programs supported by the Clinton Foundation. On Monday, he will visit sites in Baltimore; on Tuesday, he will be in Florida; and on Wednesday, he will be in St. Louis, Missouri.

After the opioid summit in Baltimore City, Clinton will visit the Sollers Point branch of Baltimore County Public Library on Monday afternoon. He will participate in the 2:30 p.m. dedication of panels that have the theme "Talking is Teaching" at the branch on Sollers Point Road in Dundalk.

The panels feature conversation starters that will help parents engage in educational ways with their little ones about things like shapes and colors.

The Sollers Point branch will be the first library in the country to receive the panels, according to Baltimore County Public Library, which reports they have been installed at playgrounds. The initiative is supported by Too Small To Fail, a campaign of the Opportunity Institute and the Clinton Foundation.

Following his trip to Baltimore, Clinton will continue on to visit health projects in Florida centered around addiction, mothers and infants and HIV patients on Tuesday, Oct. 31.

The tour on behalf of the Clinton Foundation will wrap up on Wednesday, Nov. 1, in Missouri with visits to a school, grocery store on wheels and STEM initiative.
