In the US in 2017, over 49,000 persons died from an opioid overdose. Naloxone reverses potentially fatal respiratory depression caused by opioids. A project to put naloxone on SOU's campus was instituted and campus was educated on the use and accessibility. We held the 2nd largest naloxone giveaway in southern Oregon. To date: 80 doses of Narcan and 72 doses of IM naloxone were distributed. Presently naloxone has been distributed in AEDs throughout SOU's campus and education continues.
