Alice has a BS in Business Administration: Organizational Innovation and is a certified prevention specialist, a graduate of CADCA's National Coalition Academy, and a trainer for the TN ACE Initiative: Building Strong Brains, and SAMHSA’s Trauma-Informed Care.

The CHIME Opioid Task Force (OTF) was launched in early 2018 with a simple mission: to turn the tide on the opioid epidemic using the knowledge and expertise of the nation’s healthcare IT leaders. While our mission is simple, achieving it is not. Opioid addiction is a complex disease that requires long-term, if not lifetime, care from well-informed clinicians who are supported with easy-to-use and reliable tools.
