PreventEd and People's Health Center are installing Naloxboxes. Each box has two doses of Narcan, which reverses opioid overdose effects, a rescue breathing mask and instructions.
In the last five years, opioid overdose deaths in St. Louis's Black community have increased by 500%, and that's just one statistic these agencies are aiming to reverse.
“We could save two lives with this one box of Narcan," PreventEd Deputy Executive Director Jenny Ambruster said.
PreventEd and People’s Health Center are partnering to install 75 NaloxBoxes across St. Louis City and North St. Louis County.
