Oldham officials credit community partners and settlement funds for naloxone rollout
Summary
County leaders credited a coalition of local organizations and opioid-abatement/settlement money, plus a fiscal court allocation, for enabling Oldham County's kit distribution program and related community events.
Officials said the distribution program was made possible by cooperation among local groups and by funding sources that include national opioid settlements, state dollars and an allocation from the county fiscal court. Judge Executive David Vogel said the county had received money from the national settlements and the state and that the fiscal court agreed to spend money for the project.
Bridal and others credited the Healthy Oldham County Coalition, Tri County Community Action Agency, the health department and local volunteers for donating items and supporting training. The officials described the effort as community-driven and said partners will continue outreach beyond the detention center into local businesses and public events.
