Atrium Health Floyd has given Narcan, a nasal spray for reversing opioid overdoses, to several school partners, including Chattooga County Schools, Darlington School, Floyd County Schools, Rome City Schools, and Trion City Schools. AtriumHealth Floyd’s Dr. Ken Jones emphasized that while they hope it won’t be needed, having Narcan available could save lives, as it is easy to use. Georgia’s new law requires schools to have a supply of lifesaving medications. In 2023, over 107,000 people in the U. S. died of drug overdoses, mostly from opioids. Paula White, School Nurse Director for AtriumHealth Floyd explained that the donation came from Direct Relief, and Atrium Health Floyd provided 108 nasal spray containers to the schools.
