On January 17th Stanley-Boyd School Nurse Karyn Nitz installed two Overdose Aid Kits (O.A.K.s) in the Stanley-Boyd School building after a generous donation from the Clinton Global Initiative Overdose Response Network. Additional kits were installed at the Boyd Early Learning Center and at Open Doors Academy. The Overdose Aid Kits are provided by the Chippewa County Department of Public Health to address the fentanyl crisis affecting the State of Wisconsin and the nation. The kits included Narcan nasal spray, fentanyl testing kits and a CPR barrier. Narcan is a medication used to reverse an opioid overdose.
“Chippewa County Department of Public Health provided us with the overdose aid kits to help save lives in case of an overdose emergency,” explained Nitz. She also mentioned that staff training on how to administer Narcan will be scheduled and announced at a later date.
