The Fond du Lac County Health Department and Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue are teaming up in an effort to reduce opioid overdose deaths. The Narcan-Leave-Behind program is designed to increase access to Narcan especially among at-risk populations. Fire and Rescue paramedics will distribute Narcan kits for layperson use after incidents of suspected opioid overdoses. The Health Department continues to offer Narcan training sessions throughout the community and on an individual basis. Opioid-related overdose deaths in Fond du Lac County have increased from 12 in 2014 to 25 in 2020.
