Sunday marked International Overdose Awareness Day, a point in the year where many people stop to put the overdose epidemic in focus. Our Behavioral Health and Wellness team made sure they were wearing purple in recognition of this day, a way to put the memories of the more than 500 Nashvillians who died of an overdose last year at the front of our mind. If you or someone you know is suffering from addiction and would like some help, contact our Behavioral Health and Wellness team at 615-340-2172. For more information on the toll the overdose crisis takes on our community as a whole, visit https://www.nashville.gov/departments/health/drug-overdose-information
