Wayne County plans EMS 'leave-behind' harm-reduction kit pilot for overdose responses
Summary
Public Health and EMS are developing a program for EMS crews to leave harm-reduction kits at overdose scenes and in areas known for drug activity; the program is in development with a targeted rollout next month.
Wayne County Public Health said it is collaborating with EMS to develop a "leave-behind" harm-reduction program in which EMS personnel responding to overdoses—or visiting locations known for drug activity—would distribute harm-reduction kits.
The program remains in development; staff told the committee they anticipate a targeted rollout next month pending final protocols and training. No budget or vendor details were included in the minutes. The program is being designed as a county initiative in partnership between Public Health and EMS, and staff said they will return with implementation specifics.
