Town News Announces: Oradell Doctor Sponsors Foundation for a Drug-Free World

AUGUST 8, 2013
TOWN NEWS

In an effort to counterattack the illegal drug use problem in New Jersey, Dr. Daniel Margolin, DPM, of New Jersey Foot and Ankle Center in Oradell has created a community outreach program partnering with the Foundation for a Drug-Free World.

According to the U.S. Centers of Disease Control, "every day, 40 Americans die from an overdose caused by prescription painkiller abuse." Currently, opioid prescription drug overdoses kill more people than heroin and cocaine combined.

On Thursday, July 25, to Saturday, July 27, New Jersey Foot and Ankle Center volunteered over staff 16 hours by distributing the Truth About Drugs booklets to Englewood youth at the Englewood Sidewalk Sale.

"I have decided to implement this program because we live here too," said Margolin. He has been locally known for spearheading the annual Shoes for the Needy campaign for 25 years.

Margolin has made it his initiative to help out the local community by becoming a resource for drug-free education for people at such locations as local schools, after-school programs and community groups, to educate youth about the harmful effects of drugs so they can make the right decision if they come to that crossing.

Anyone interested in partaking in the drug-free education services can contact New Jersey Foot and Ankle Center's Community Outreach Coordinator, Brielle, at 973-670-7002 or email DrugFreeWorldNJ.Brielle@gmail.com.

New Jersey Foot and Ankle Center is located at 550 Kinderkamack Road in Oradell and can be reached at 201-261-9445. Margolin has spent over three years as chairman of the Department of Podiatric Surgery at St. Peter's Hospital and is currently on staff at Valley Hospital.
