Why Naloxone Matters

Opioid and fentanyl overdoses can be harmful, and even fatal. By equipping your department with naloxone, sometimes known as Narcan, you will be ready to accomplish your mission — and save lives.

Schedule a Training

Franklin County Public Health offers training about opioids, fentanyl, and naloxone, including how to administer naloxone nasal spray. Department’s that complete the training are eligible to receive naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and medication disposal bags.
