PreventEd & Betty Jean Kerr People's Health Centers have partnered to install 75 NaloxBoxes in two of the areas hit hardest by opioid overdoses--St. Louis City & North County.
The boxes will be installed on walls, similar to defibrillator boxes, & each contains two doses of intra-nasal Narcan (naloxone), which rapidly reverses an opioid overdose. It can be administered by minimally trained bystanders & comes with easy-to-understand instructions.
Visit
