Grant To Address Opioid Overdose Prevention In Six-County Area
Press release
Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC) was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to assist in preventing opioid overdose deaths in Maury, Giles, Lawrence, Lewis, Marshall and Wayne counties.
According to MRMC Population Health Director Jill Gaddes, who coordinated the grant, the program is designed to equip first responders in rural areas with naloxone, an injectable medication that reverses symptoms of an opioid overdose. The grant will provide for training of participating agencies as well as medication and supplies.
The Tennessee Department of Health reports that 1,263 deaths in Tennessee in 2014 were the result of drug overdose, including 20 deaths in Maury County. In July 2014, Tennessee passed a Good Samaritan law that grants civil immunity for those who administer naloxone to someone they believe is overdosing on an opioid.
A steering committee will be formed to develop a plan of action for training and distribution of medication and supplies to first responder agencies who are partnering with MRMC on the grant project.
