A recently established drug program to prevent overdoses in schools and other local issues were discussed at the first Fountain Valley mayor’s breakfast of the year, held March 30 at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital in Orange County, California.

The school program was first initiated last November, in which city services placed drug stations at schools to reverse overdoses in youth. The stations carry naloxone, a nasal spray that can reverse the deadly effects of opioids.
