Melania Trump to visit Huntington's Lily's Place treatment center Herald-Dispatch/WV, Oct 9, 2017
HUNTINGTON — First lady Melania Trump will travel to Huntington on Tuesday, Oct. 10, with the sole purpose of visiting Lily's Place, a center that treats babies born with addiction symptoms, U.S Rep. Evan Jenkins said Monday.
"Melania Trump heard from Lily’s Place Executive Director Rebecca Crowder last month during a White House event, and now she will be able to see this model of care for herself," Jenkins said in a statement released by his office. "I welcome the first lady’s involvement in this critical issue and look forward to working with her and President Trump to combat the opioid crisis."
Crowder was among the experts and people affected by addiction who met with the first lady on Sept. 28 in the White House to discuss the opioid epidemic affecting the nation. Melania Trump said she was concerned about the well-being of children and wanted to help as many as possible with the issues they face growing up.
