With the Rock County Public Health Department warning the community about a spike in drug-related deaths that involve both fenatnyl and cocaine, two local healthcare providers are taking action.
Vivent Health Prevention Specialist Brooke McKearn says six out of 10 pills sold on the street contain the synthetic opioid that is 50 times stronger than heroin.
Vivent Health is teaming up with Edgerton Hospital to host two free Narcan training classes on November 29th and December 7th.
Participants will learn the signs an symptoms of an overdose as well as how to easily and properly use Narcan nasal spray.
Those who register in advance at edgertonhospital.com will receive a kit containing two free doses of Narcan.
