The City of York Bureau of Health, York/Adams Drug and Alcohol Commission, and York Opioid Collaborative have been working together to distribute Narcan the 4th Tuesday of each month. On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the monthly Narcan distribution event will continue to take place at City Hall (101 S George St.). Individuals can pick up Narcan (outside and in front of City Hall) and receive a brief training on how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose.
Due to September being National Recovery month, Lancaster Harm Reduction Project will be joining the City of York Bureau of Health, York/Adams Drug and Alcohol Commission, and the York Opioid Collaborative at the event to distribute additional resources. Bystanders are often the first to be in the presence or witness an individual experiencing an overdose, which is why it is important to have Narcan easily accessible. Anyone who is prescribed an opioid medication is at risk for overdose.
