Join us Tuesday Aug 4 for a public lecture featuring keynote speaker Dr. Michael Caldwell. The topic is public health focused, highlighting alcohol and its links to malignancies.

06/25/2026

Let’s talk about the link of alcohol consumption and increased risk of cancer(s). Much of the public is unaware the link exists, let alone that there is risk for different types of cancers not just one. The risk is not from one type of alcohol either! However reduction and abstaining from its consumption comes with good news, so join in our efforts to reduce alcohol consumption!

🇺🇸✨ Honoring Service, Advancing Health ✨🇺🇸

On Veterans Day 2025, The Next Door Recovery, Dry January® USA, and Meharry Medical College proudly marched together in the Nashville Veterans Day Parade — united in purpose, compassion, and community.

This moment marked the beginning of a powerful new partnership dedicated to the health, recovery, and well-being of women veterans — those who have courageously served our nation and now deserve our unwavering support on their journey to healing and wholeness.

Together, we’re charting a new path — one that connects public health, mental health, addiction recovery, and community empowerment under a shared vision: that every woman veteran should have access to compassionate care, purpose, and hope.

Leading this collaborative effort is Dr. Michael C. Caldwell, a Nashville public health leader, Associate Vice President for Vaccine Research & Education at Meharry Medical College, and Chief Medical Officer of Dry January® USA.

Dr. Caldwell’s lifelong mission is to build bridges between healthcare institutions and the communities they serve — advancing equity, prevention, and education as foundations of public health. Under his leadership, Dry January® USA and Meharry Medical College are spearheading innovative national campaigns and local partnerships that inspire healthier living and empower individuals to make choices that transform lives and futures.

💙 This is only the beginning.
💪🏽 Together, we serve.
🌟 Together, we rise.
