It’s not enough that our kids and teachers can’t go to school without worrying about being shot, they can’t even go celebrate the accomplishment of graduating.

The FDA has cleared Narcan for over-the-counter use, setting it up to be the first opioid overdose reversal treatment in the U.S. to be sold without a prescription https://t.co/xNmxoxKQdM

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

[Sabrina Moreno @sabrinaamorenoo]

FDA advisers just unanimously endorsed making Narcan spray available over-the-counter for the first time in U.S. history. Advocates have long said a decision like this is critical to ending the overdose crisis https://t.co/vWfaYx2Y3n

@sabrinaamorenoo I get it for free through the Chris Atwood Foundation which is based in NoVA. You fill out a Google form and they ship it directly to you! https://t.co/JXDNCebYI4

[Julia Warren @juliarwarren]

@sabrinaamorenoo Don’t leave the house without it! And I’ve had to use it once 🙏🏼 When I was trained, they said something that’s stayed with me - Narcan should be as widely available as AED’s due to the frequency of overdoses.

“Bon Secours was basically laundering money through this poor hospital to its wealthy outposts,” said Dr. Lucas English, who worked in Richmond Community’s emergency department until 2018. “It was all about profits.”

@JasonKamras Looks amazing!!! Reminds me of the @PublicolorNYC project - a little paint can go a long way! Big thanks to their facilities team 🎉

@BossRVA @MzFtz @cvspharmacy We love Hope and Dr. Brown! She’s gone above and beyond multiple times and once - without my prompting or asking (I’d come to terms with what my copay was on top of insurance) - found me a way to save more than $100 on each refill. Highly recommend!!

[Julia Warren @juliarwarren]

Had to stop myself from getting too excited when we saw @AndrewNBC12 at @GoSquirrels but @jmattingly306 couldn’t help himself when he saw what AF had chosen for footwear: “Let it be known that @AndrewNBC12 wears Crocs, so from now on, I’m allowed to wear Crocs.”
