Central Wester Zone Health Report   April 2018

The Opioid epidemic  has become a major problem in our communities and some of the counties are availing themselves of the Opioid Reversal Training program.   In Monroe County a group of the retired teachers has completed the training and the Monroe County Retired Teachers Organization has planned a training session for their Executive Board in early summer and offering  the training for members at the Fall meeting

Most of our police, sheriffs’ departments, fire departments,  pharmacists have been trained to handle Opioid Overdose and might make a great program for your groups.  Be prepared, you could possibly save a family member.

We continue with our walkers and bicycle riders chalking up miles  for exercise.   Hopefully the weather will continue to improve  and encourage us all to get up, get out  and get moving.
