Overdose Awareness Week seeks to bring attention to the more than 100,000 lives lost every year in the U.S. to drug overdoses. The CDC has reported that for the first time in ten years, the number of fatal overdoses has not increased and is holding steady. This month, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC) installed a Naloxone Distribution Box outside of its emergency department with free Naloxone and Fentanyl test strip kits to anyone who needs them, with no questions asked. PVHMC is one of the few hospitals in the area with a Naloxone Distribution Box.
PVHMC Substance Use Nurse Navigator Sherrie Cisneros, RN, demonstrated how to use Naloxone nasal spray for media outlets.
