Hannon and Mangano Hosting Free Narcan Training

I am partnering with Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano to host a FREE Narcan Training event on Wednesday, February 10th, at Hempstead High School, located at 201 President Street, Hempstead, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

Naloxone, or Narcan, is a highly effective antidote for accidental drug overdose. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that every 19 minutes, one person dies from an accidental overdose from prescription drug abuse, and it’s imperative that we do everything possible to prevent these tragedies from occurring.

Abuse and death from the use of opioids such as Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Heroin is increasing at an alarming rate. At this training event, participants will be able to learn what they can do in case of an overdose and how to administer the life-saving, overdose-reversal agent Narcan.

Participants will be trained in the use and administration of Narcan, and will also receive a FREE Narcan kit.

You MUST RSVP for this event. Reservations can be made by e-mailing elaikin@nassaucountyny.gov, or by calling Eden Elaikin at 516-571-6105.
