National Fentanyl Awareness Day
Today marks the fifth annual National Fentanyl Awareness Day founded by families who lost loved ones to overdose. According to the CDC, Fentanyl is the leading cause of overdose deaths in the U.S., involved in nearly 70% of fatal overdoses. 75% of overdose deaths among youth ages 10-19 involved fentanyl (2020-2024). Narcan can reverse an opioid overdose - it's safe, easy to use, and anyone can carry it.
