Atrium Health Floyd donates Narcan to Georgia schools as opioid overdose deaths soar.

Atrium Health Floyd has donated Narcan, a nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses, to several Georgia schools following a state law requiring schools to have lifesaving medications. The health organization provided 108 nasal spray containers to Chattooga County Schools, Darlington School, Floyd County Schools, Rome City Schools, and Trion City Schools. The donation comes amid rising drug overdose deaths in the U.S., with over 107,000 deaths reported in 2023, mostly due to opioids.
