🛡️ Overdose can happen—every second counts. We participate in the network, a statewide initiative distributing naloxone kits and training.
📦 You can request a free naloxone kit plus training through GCPH—including recognizing overdose signs, rescue breathing, calling EMS, and administering intranasal naloxone.
🔔 Local innovation: There are local NaloxBoxes available—24/7 access to naloxone.
Let’s keep one another safe.

National Public Health Week 2026 invites all Americans to renew their commitment to strengthening the systems, science, and community partnerships that keep us healthy. Science is the reason most children live past age 5 and most adults live well into later life. Science delivered vaccines, sanitation, seatbelts, and safer workplaces.

A very nice post

Last month, Greene County Public Health—a Regional Grant Cycle 1 recipient awarded nearly $330,000—released its Annual Report highlighting the impact of its mobile health unit.

Since launching on May 22, 2025, the unit has already served more than 430 residents across Greene and Clinton counties with critical harm reduction services.

This is what impact looks like—meeting communities where they are and expanding access to care when it’s needed most.
