Naloxone education and distribution event to be hosted at Columbia College

In partnership with the Boone County Overdose Response Coalition and Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services, Columbia College, located at 705 Rangeline St., will host a Save-a-Life: Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) education and distribution event Thursday, Nov. 13, from 6 - 7 p.m. in Bixby Auditorium.

Save-a-Life is a series of free, public monthly events that offer education and conversations on how members of our communities can help prevent overdose deaths from painkillers like fentanyl through the use of naloxone nasal spray, a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

This event is open to everyone. Attendees may park in the parking lot directly east of the Columbia College soccer field. The lot is located across the street from the Science Center.

No registration is necessary. A personal supply of naloxone will be available to all attendees. For more information, contact Heather Harlan at [email protected]or 573.817.6404.

This event is funded in part by contract DH240054280 between the Public Health and Human Services and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. As a result of the continued partnership between Public Health and Human Services and the Missouri Institute for Mental Health, Narcan®will be available to participants at no cost.

Members of the public may attend any open meeting.
