October 4, 2024
A vending machine stocked with overdose kits, fentanyl test strips and other free public health and harm-reduction items is now available at the Unity Square Community Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, according to a TAPinto Piscataway report.
The 24-hour healthcare kiosk was made possible through a joint effort between Middlesex County and the city of New Brunswick. In addition to harm-reduction supplies, the kiosk offers information on health care services in the community.
"Through the Middlesex County Opioid Settlement Advisory Council, we are ensuring that every dollar we receive for a total of 18 years from New Jersey's settlement is strategically allocated to combat this devastating epidemic," Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ronald G. Rios told the news outlet. "The launch of this 24-hour Middlesex County Healthcare Kiosk in New Brunswick underscores our commitment to being on the forefront of the fight against the opioid epidemic."
