SF Public Health Director Dan Tsai appeared on KQED Forum on Wednesday to talk about what SF is doing in response to cychlorphine, an emerging powerful synthetic opioid that was detected in a recent fatal overdose of an SF teen.

Take a listen here: https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101915303/teen-overdose-confirms-arrival-of-deadly-opioid-in-san-francisco

Remember:

The safest thing to do is to not use illicit drugs

Carry Naloxone, you can get it here: https://www.sf.gov/information--about-naloxone

Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose when given quickly. It works on all opioids, including newer types. If you think someone is having an overdose, give naloxone right away, even if you are not sure what drugs they took.

Recovery is possible, and treatment works. Since launching in 2024, millions of people have seen our Living Proof SF multimedia marketing campaign featuring 11 San Franciscans who reached sustained recovery through addiction care provided by the San Francisco Department of Public Health. The goal: Raise awareness that addiction treatment is effective and available and reduce the stigma that prevents people for asking for support.

Tuesday, the individuals featured in the Living Proof campaign received an official commendation from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for their courage in sharing their addiction and recovery stories and for making a positive impact on our communities. We thank Supervisor Matt Dorsey for championing this commendation.

To our campaign stars – Shavonne, Michael, Jean, Kevin, Juliana, Alyssa, Jen, Dominique, Gregory, Erica, and Joel – we thank you for bravely sharing your stories and showing everyone that recovery is possible. You are an inspiration!

UNIDOS, SOMOS MÁS. / TOGETHER, WE ARE MORE.

As we celebrate Latine/x Heritage Month, SFDPH joins national communities in uplifting a theme that resonates deeply with our daily work: unity strengthens us, and unity supports our health.
Well-being is not an individual effort; it is something we build together. When we share resources, support our families, and care for one another, we create stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, lives were lost, families were forever changed, and communities across our nation and around the world felt the impact of an event that continues to shape us today.

We honor those we lost, the survivors, the first responders, workers, and countless individuals who met a moment of unimaginable loss with courage and service.

We hold close all those who continue to carry the memories and lasting impacts of that day.

May we continue to care for one another with compassion, strength, and a shared commitment to community.

We remember. We honor. We stand together.

🌡️ Extreme heat is deadly.

It kills more people in the U.S. than any other weather-related hazard.

Older adults, infants, and people with chronic health conditions are most at risk.
One of the most serious heat-related illnesses is heat stroke — when the body overheats and can’t cool itself down.

🚨 Signs of heat stroke include:
• Confusion
• Seizures
• Loss of consciousness

⚠️ Heat stroke is a medical emergency — call 911 and act fast.

Early recognition can save a life.
