Urgent Training in Administration of Narcan Takes Place in Tiskilwa

The Bureau County Health Department is partnering with the Tiskilwa Public Library to host a Narcan training session on Wednesday, September 24. The event, aimed at potentially saving lives, will take place at the library at 10 a.m.

The training session is focused on administering Narcan in emergency situations and will also cover the use of fentanyl testing strips. Attendees will learn how to use Narcan, a medication that can reverse opioid overdose, and how to test for the presence of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid often found in illicit drugs.

The Narcan training is open to the public, but registration is required in advance. Interested individuals can sign up for the session by contacting the Tiskilwa Public Library or the Bureau County Health Department.

The training session is part of a larger effort to educate the community about the dangers of opioid overdose and provide tools to respond effectively in emergency situations. With the ongoing opioid crisis, it is essential that more people are equipped with the knowledge and skills to help save lives.

The Narcan training is scheduled to take place at the Tiskilwa Public Library, located at [Insert Library Address]. The session will last for approximately two hours and will be led by trained professionals from the Bureau County Health Department.

If you or someone you know is interested in attending the Narcan training session, please register in advance to secure your spot. Together, we can make a difference in our community and help save lives.
