A new partnership is launching a pilot program aimed at saving lives. During the Pike County School District Nov. 14 meeting, the board unanimously approved the launch of a pilot program in partnership with Harbor Path and FFF Enterprises that will make Naloxone, otherwise known as Narcan, more available to those who need it. According to Ken Trogdon, with Harbor Path, the purpose of the program is to save the lives of those most vulnerable to overdose poisoning by distribution of Naloxone within an arm's length of every potential overdose victim. “We are really focused on putting Narcan in the homes of families in Eastern Kentucky,” said Trogdon.
