Farmington Valley Health District is excited to be working with East Granby First Selectman, Jason Hayes, and the generous support of Amplify to provide FREE Narcan to the community. Narcan saves lives and is something we should all have access to in case of emergency. Overcoming the stigma of addiction only happens when communities work together to withhold judgment and offer support and understanding. Thank you to East Granby for always being our partner in making mental health matter! Stay tuned for additional locations to be able to access FREE Narcan in the Farmington Valley.
