We are so thankful for Mrs. Hillary Lee's class from Monroe County High School. They helped assemble 91 overdose response kits that will be distributed throughout the county. They were great helpers and a joy to have visiting the Health Department!

We are so very excited to share that our first Naloxone kiosks are now out in the community!

Check out the box in Gamaliel in front of Gamaliel Market and Deli. Inside the box, you'll find overdose response kits. These kits contain a two-dose box of Narcan or Naloxone, a hygiene kit, a PPE kit with gloves and mask, Fentanyl test strips, and a resource card with local information.

The kits are free! Take one for you, one for a friend. They are available 24/7, seven days a week. Narcan can reverse an opioid overdose and save a life. We encourage everyone to carry Narcan.
