Les Sinclair talks with Kathryn Goodman, Thomas Jefferson Health District Public Information Officer about the rash of recent overdoses in our community and the TJHD’s response of holding drive-through NARCA distribution events.   These events are free to the public and do not require registration. The events are all drive-through at each health department listed below. Individuals who attend will learn how to use Naloxone and receive a free box with two doses of Naloxone. Please note: TJHD does not ask to see identification when distributing Naloxone.
