Naloxone Distribution and Training

Naloxone is an essential part of harm reduction and reducing the effects of overdose on the community. We offer intramuscular and nasal naloxone as well as naloxone trainings, all at no cost!

What is Naloxone?

Naloxone, commonly known by its brand name Narcan, is an opioid reversal drug used to counter the effects of an opioid overdose. Naloxone is an incredibly vital resource to reduce opioid overdoses, we encourage all people to keep naloxone on hand in the event they are in a situation where an overdose occurs.

  • What is "Health Equity"?"
    "Health equity is the principle underlying a commitment to reduce—and, ultimately, eliminate—disparities in health and in its determinants, including social determinants. Pursuing health equity means striving for the highest possible standard of health for all people and giving special attention to the needs of those at greatest risk of poor health, based on social conditions."
