Project DAWN

It’s no secret that there has been an overwhelming surge in opiate overdoses and fatalities within our communities. It’s a saddening and devastating problem, and Mount Carmel wants to be part of the solution. That’s why Mount Carmel Outreach and the Mount Carmel Mobile Medical Coach have joined forces with Project DAWN (Deaths Avoided With Naloxone), a community-based overdose education and Narcan (naloxone) distribution program.

Through generous donations to the Mount Carmel Foundation, our Project DAWN program provides Narcan kits free-of-charge to those without health insurance and limited financial means. Narcan is a safe medication that can reverse an overdose caused by prescription pain medication or heroin and save lives.

To request your Project DAWN Narcan kit, visit the Mount Carmel Mobile Medical Coach, email projectdawn@mchs.com or call 614-546-4200 for more information. When you request a kit, you'll also be screened and taught how to recognize and respond to an overdose.
