MHealth Fairview, in collaboration with the Steve Rummler HOPE Network, is making a significant stride in community health by offering a 24-hour Naloxone Access Point. Naloxone (Narcan®) is a medication that reverses the effects of an opioid overdose, and anyone in Minnesota can carry and administer it.
What’s available: Free naloxone kits (both nasal and intramuscular) and fentanyl test strips.
Location: MHealth Fairview Southdale Hospital, 6401 France Ave. S., Edina.
Why it matters: This is the first 24-hour access point in the Bloomington area, making it a vital resource in saving lives and strengthening community health by ensuring easy and around-the-clock access to life-saving medication.
