💙 The fentanyl crisis has touched nearly everyone nationwide, and many people know someone struggling with substance use disorder. On National Fentanyl Awareness Day, let's take time to learn, reflect, and heal together.

🩵 Fentanyl most often shows up in counterfeit pills and a very small dose can be lethal. Fake pills look just like the real thing, so many people don't know they are consuming fentanyl. Never take a pill without a prescription from a pharmacy.

💙 SIHB is here to support on your journey to healing. Our pharmacies carry free fentanyl test strips, which let you know if there's fentanyl in the pills you're taking. We also offer free Narcan, a lifesaving overdose prevention medication. Using Narcan is an act of love and could make the difference in someone’s life.

🩵 Visit an SIHB clinic today and learn more about Fentanyl Awareness Day at https://bit.ly/4u9LvuQ

A day of action to raise public awareness about an urgent problem: illegally made fentanyl. Join our effort.

We all want to keep our babies safe, and one way to do that is to have your baby vaccinated at birth against hepatitis B. The vaccine can protect your little one from a serious, chronic liver infection. And even if your baby wasn't vaccinated at birth, our pediatrician Dr. Maithri Sarangam explains it's not too late to do so.
