ONE YEAR LATER: HEROIN TASK FORCE AT CROSSROADS
It's been one year since the Northern Kentucky Heroin Impact Response
Task Force came out with a "Call to Action" to fight the heroin epidemic.
On Tuesday night the group, made up of business leaders, law
enforcement, health care workers, prevention and recovery leaders and
families, will introduce the next phase of the attack on heroin.
Their plan has inspired 17 free overdose-prevention clinics providing
129 free kits containing a life-saving drug, naloxone. With five
documented rescues, the latest is a boy who was celebrating his 15th
birthday with heroin and overdosed in Covington.
