The public is invited to attend one of two free seminars Thursday, Feb. 29 on opioid abuse and treatment at the Samaritan Center for Health Education in Newport.
Jesse Noble, who leads Lincoln County’s harm reduction program, will present the same seminar twice — from noon to 1 p.m. and from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Her topics will include an overview of opioids, opioid overdose and response, fentanyl and xylazine, the use of naloxone, and how the county’s harm reduction outreach program works.
People are asked to reserve a seat by either calling Amy Conner at 541-574-4952 or sending an email to aconner@samhealth.org and indicate which seminar you will attend.
The Center for Health Education is located west of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital at 740 S.W. Ninth St.
