Laredo public‑health partners expand outreach: wound‑care kits, naloxone distribution and survivor referrals
Summary
Public‑health partners in Laredo described a sharp multi‑year drop in opioid deaths, new wound‑care street outreach and a planned overdose‑survivor referral workflow; the committee also approved creating an official social‑media page to distribute PSAs and materials.
Public‑health partners in Laredo on the coalition meeting reported early 2026 data showing fewer opioid‑related deaths and outlined new outreach efforts to connect people experiencing homelessness and substance‑use challenges to care.
In a brief administrative update, a public‑health representative said, "so far for 2026, we do have 0 deaths reported," and presented multi‑year declines previously reported by staff. Speakers described continuing distribution of naloxone and wound‑care kits as both life‑saving interventions and opportunities to link people to health and recovery services.
