Southwest Washington Accountable Community of Health has been awarded more than $50,000 from the Clark County Opioid Abatement Council to support its network of naloxone vending machines.
Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
The organization first launched the Narcan vending machine network in November 2022 to increase access to the medication across Clark, Klickitat and Skamania counties.
