Thank you @DrPhilRoe for inviting me to Johnson City, TN to visit @etsu's School of #PublicHealth!
LOVED hearing that all resident halls have #naloxone in their AED response boxes. ETSU has trained ~9k students in naloxone administration & ~30k have taken online courses.
@DrPhilRoe @etsu I encourage everyone to carry #naloxone and to know how to use it. Doing so might just mean the difference between life and death. #ThursdayMotivation hhs.gov/surgeongeneral…
@DrPhilRoe @etsu Tennessee has distributed 98,000 units of narcan and they have > 10,000 documented lives saved! This overdose-reversing drug gives us all a tremendous opportunity to help get people into treatment and prevent a future overdose. #ThursdayThoughts
Covered a lot of ground here at @etsu. We discussed the #OpioidEpidemic, NAS, good 🦷 health & the importance of community partnerships. Johnson City knows how important prevention and recovery are!
Visiting @NiswongerCHosp, where former NICU patients come back to place their 🦶 or 🖐 on this wall after being discharged. #ThursdayMotivation
We continued the conversation about prevention at Crown Labs. It is so important for businesses to create an environment for its employees and fellow citizens to be healthy.
Visited @HealingHandsTVA to learn more about their comprehensive services. Thanks to @DrPhilRoe & these young helpers for joining me pack some bags with essentials for strong, clean 🦷! Great to also visit with some of our friends from @ramusaorg! Keep up the great work!
