August 31st marks International Overdose Awareness day - a day to remember without stigma those who have died from an opioid overdose and acknlowedge the grief of family and friends left behind. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness and campaign to end overdose.
Today, US WorldMeds wants to acknowledge Drew's 27 Chains. Drew’s 27 Chains was founded by Callie Crow in 2020 in honor of her son, Drew, who tragically passed away from an opioid overdose. Callie is a retired paramedic who uses her real-life EMT experience to train first responders, schools, and harm reduction groups on how to identify and reverse an opioid overdose. Thank you, Callie, for your effort in preventing future overdose deaths by educating the community about overdose and prevention.
