The Marshall County Health Department (MCHD) will offer a community Narcan training this month. As the Opioid crisis continues across the nation, the Marshall County Health Department wants to get more Narcan Rescue kits out into the hands of friends and family members with loved ones addicted.
Marshall County has not been spared from the opioid crisis. “Carrying a Narcan rescue kit is no different than knowing how to perform CPR, it saves lives,” says Christine Stinson the Administrator of the Marshall County Health Department. The number of deaths from opioid overdoses has doubled in our nation from 2010 to 2016. Research shows that when Narcan rescue kits and overdose education are available in a community the number of overdose deaths decrease.
The Marshall County Health Department has sent up a public training to get more rescue kits out into the community. The training will be on Thursday, May 31st at 4:30 PM at the Community Resource Center 510 West Adams Street in Plymouth.
