Narcan Vending Option Considered Success

The Eau Claire City-County Health Department is calling the installation of a Narcan-dispensing vending machine a success. 

The machine, which also dispenses fentanyl testing strips, has sat in the lobby of the Eau Claire County Jail for about two years.  Department officials say that an estimated 37-hundred doses of Narcan have been dispensed in that time and have resulted in the saving of lives.  Grant dollars from the state cover the cost of maintaining the machine.
