Cardinal Health announces its Opioid Action Program, to help communities across Appalachia combat the opioid epidemic. The pilot program delivers front-line tools to help prevent opioid abuse and support first responders in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The Opioid Action Program includes 80,000 doses of Narcan (naloxone HCI) Nasal Spray for first responders and law enforcement officials; support for drug take-back and education programs; expanded grants focused on youth prevention education, prescriber opioid awareness, and reduction efforts and community responses; and a partnership with the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University to share medical school curricula addressing opioid misuse and treatment.
