DID YOU KNOW …
Zion is now a Tamaqua Narcan distribution site?
You may be wondering what is Narcan? Narcan is a life-saving medication used to reverse the effects of accidental opioid overdoses.
This medication is good to have on hand because:
- You could end up saving a friend or neighbor in need. You never know when you’ll encounter someone in need of this life-saving medication. Keep it in your purse or your car for when you might need it.
- Parents with teenagers are encouraged to keep naloxone in their homes.
- Senior citizens can mistakenly overdose on medications. Having more of this life-saving drug in the community is important.
Narcan kits are be available free of charge. Feel free to grab one off the table.
Our Parish Administrator will pass on Narcan requests to Michele Valentine who is heading this ministry. Michele will contact you by phone to facilitate your request.
Questions? Perhaps Michele Valentine, Michael Haspe, Dave Fetterman or George Taylor can help.
