Considerations when looking into cannabis use for older adults:

- Marketing/media has been known to exaggerate claims of medical and wellness benefits while minimizing potential harms.

- Current research is inconsistent across studies, in terms of pros vs cons. Current studies have not always assessed potential harms.

- Due to inconsistent research on this topic, mixed with number of similar drugs with different ingredient combinations that are perscribed to older adults, the most effective way to know whether cannabis use is safe for you is to have an honest conversation with your healthcare provider about the current medications and substances you are taking.

Today is National Naloxone Awareness Day!

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids—including he**in, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time.

Naloxone is easy to use and small to carry. There are two forms of naloxone that anyone can use without medical training or authorization: prefilled nasal spray and injectable. (CDC)

Looking to get your own naloxone kit or get trained on how to use it? Visit one of our offices or search for an access point at:
