MEDINA — Genesee Community College Medina campus will host free Narcan training from Horizon Health Services from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. on March 20.
A child who ingests an adult opiate painkiller prescription, an elderly person who forgets and takes too much of their opiate painkiller medication and a loved one who struggles with opiate/heroin addiction are a few examples of situations that can lead to an accidental overdose. Attendees of the training will learn how to recognize and respond to an opiate overdose, who may be at risk, and how to administer Narcan, a prescription medicine that blocks the effects of opioids and reverses an overdose.
Seats for the Narcan training will be limited and those interested in attending should call 585-798-1688 for reservations. Horizon Health Services Parent & Family Support Coordinator Colleen Babcock will lead the training.
The Medina Campus Center is located at 11470 Maple Ridge Road. For more information, contact the Medina Campus Center at (585) 798-1688.
