Just 160 miles apart, two care centers have set out to combat America’s opioid crisis baby by baby.

Lily’s Place and Brigid’s Path lie in the Ohio River Valley — at the epicenter of the opioid epidemic. These are the only two centers in America to focus exclusively on newborns suffering from neonatal abstinence syndrome while offering support for mothers battling addiction.

They’re pioneering ways to keep families together as the opioid epidemic crushes communities, but the clinics’ survival depends on whether their tiny patients can inspire enough love and funding to continue.
