David Royer, ADAMH CEO, responded to Cardinal Health's Apology for failing to notice or take action when filling small pharmacies’ orders for preposterously large shipments of highly addictive opiates:
“I’m hopeful that, just out of trying to do the right thing by the community, they will step up to help us in dealing with this,” Royer said. Whatever the courts decide about legal liability, he added, “the distributors and manufacturers have a chance to expand on what they’ve done so far because it’s the right thing to do if we’re going to have a healthy community.”
