Commissioners approve request for 300 naloxone kits for community distribution
Summary
Randolph County commissioners unanimously approved the health department's annual grant request to obtain 300 naloxone (Narcan) kits for distribution to firefighters, police and community members.
Sherry Thompson, Randolph County Health Department coordinator, told commissioners the department had submitted its routine annual request for naloxone kits and asked to receive 300 kits. "It's the kits only," Thompson said, adding that "yes, those are given out to the community, the firefighters." The board moved to approve the request and voted in favor.
The kits, described as Narcan-brand naloxone in the packet signed by the county health officer, will be distributed to first responders and community members at the health department's discretion. Commissioners did not set additional conditions beyond the typical grant-application review. The motion to approve was made and seconded during the meeting and carried by voice vote.
