Adirondack Health Institute installs harm reduction vending machines
July 1, 2024
The Adirondack Health Institute's Rural Communities Opioid Response Program is partnering with local agencies to launch harm reduction vending machines in three upstate New York communities, according to an ABC News 10 report.
The machines, to be installed in mid-July, will provide free access to supplies that can help prevent overdose, infectious disease transmission and improve overall health. These include Narcan, fentanyl test strips, xylazine test strips, wound care kits and feminine hygiene products.
The vending machines will be available 24/7 at the following locations:
- Cambridge Public Library.
- Malone Behavioral Health Urgent Care.
- Ogdensburg Wellness Center.
This initiative highlights efforts to address the opioid crisis in rural communities by providing easier access to resources and promoting public health.
