Board approves application to continue Narcan Direct program
Summary
The Board reviewed an updated Narcan administration and distribution policy and approved a motion to apply for the state Narcan Direct program that supplies naloxone free to local health departments.
The board reviewed an annual update to the county’s Narcan administration and distribution policy. Staff noted that the department receives Narcan free from the state through the Narcan Direct program and that Ashley (the nurse who manages distribution) completed the annual updates.
The chair asked for a motion to approve applying for the program; a board member moved, another seconded, and the board voted to carry the motion. "Yes, please," the chair said when asked whether approval was needed; members indicated their assent by voice and the motion was recorded as carried.
Staff said the update included additions (marked in red) and removals (yellow/strikethrough) for clarity and compliance with program requirements. No dissent or conditions were recorded.
