Today, Guilford County Public Health, in partnership with Triad Health Project and BlueCross BlueShield's Healthy Blue Foundation, unveiled a new no-cost naloxone vending machine at Triad Health Project, 501 West Westwood Ave., High Point.

This installation marks Guilford County’s third no-cost naloxone vending machine, building on the successful placement of two machines previously installed in the detention centers in Greensboro and High Point. The vending machine provides free access to naloxone, wound care kits, and fentanyl and xylazine test strips, proven tools that help prevent overdose deaths, reduce infections, and decrease related medical complications.

Sixty-six years ago today, Jibreel Khazan (formerly Ezell Blair Jr.) and the late Maj. Gen. Joseph McNeil, the late Franklin McCain Sr. and the late David Richmond Jr. sparked the sit-in movement by requesting to be served at downtown Greensboro Woolworth’s whites-only lunch counter. The A&T Four! But it wasn't just "a day." They joined forces with others and pushed the movement forward, showing up daily. It spread across the country. Today, we benefit from their resistance.
