Kerry BroderickThis is a wonderful piece. Full of helpful references for us ‘Naloxone Nerds’.
We have a ‘Naloxone for Life’ program at Denver Health and it is an integrated program and includes; internal medicine, pharmacy, emergency medicine and behavioral health.
Thanks for your information and encouragement
