Dunn Co. Adds Harm Reduction Kiosk

Dunn County now has a Narcan vending machine.

The county’s health department opened its harm reduction public health kiosk yesterday. The vending machine will have Narcan doses and fentanyl test strips for drugs, as well as  gun locks, hygiene kits, and medication disposal bags. Public Health director KT Gallagher says the idea is to give people the things they need to save some lives. Eau Claire County’s Narcan vending machine has proven popular since it opened last year. Public health managers in Eau Claire say people have taken more than 900 doses of Narcan and hundreds of fentanyl test strips from the machine since it opened.
