International Overdose Awareness Day
International Overdose Awareness Day is August 31, 2024. Held yearly, this is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind. Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is a critical, life-saving medication used to reverse opioid overdoses. At HealthStreet, we distribute Narcan daily within our community. Join us in our mission to save lives. Visit our facility to pick up your Narcan today. #SaveALife #CarryNarcan
