This shatters my heart. God bless the EMS personnel who left everything on the ground and moved sick and elderly to the roof by hand to save their lives.

“The rate of overdose death for people released from jail was 15.5 times that of the Minnesota general population…
Overdose death rates for people released from prison were even higher at 28.3 times the rate of the general MN population...” ajph.aphapublications.org/do…

The Hope Center has provided safe housing to more than 4,000 Delawareans.
This federal investment, secured by @SenatorCarper, Senator @ChrisCoons and @RepLBR, will ensure wrap-around services like transportation and behavior health to combat the root causes of homelessness.

The Hope Center is the culmination of what is possible when government and critical stakeholders work together.
With this new federal investment, the Hope Center will be able to expand the services they provide to residents and further combat homelessness in NCC.

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

It's #EMSWeek! EMS providers are often on the front line, which can take a physical, mental emotional toll over time. Yet, these first responders continue to show up for Pennsylvanians day after day, year after year. THANK YOU to #EMS personnel across the commonwealth!❤️

BREAKING: Today I'm calling upon the Legislature to protect New Jerseyans from the biggest menace on the roads: Pennsylvania drivers.
All proceeds from the “Passing Lane Protection Act” will help pay for driving lessons across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Boarding in EDs after admission is a public health crisis and leads to more medical error & higher mortality. Solutions exist. Here's why many hospitals aren't fixing it. forbes.com/sites/jessepines/… @ACEPNow @EmergencyDocs @emresidents @aaeminfo

Naloxone has no addictive properties. It only has ONE purpose—to save lives by reversing an opioid overdose. All Pennsylvanians can get naloxone by using PA's standing order prescription. Download it here be ready to save a life → bit.ly/2Mdns9W
ALT What to do if you think someone is overdosing: It may be hard to tell whether a person is high or experiencing an overdose. If you aren't sure, treat it like an overdose--you could save a life. 1. Call 911 immediately. 2. Administer naloxone, if available. 3. Try to keep the person awake and breathing. 4. Lay the person on their side to prevent choking. 5. Stay with the person until emergency assistance arrives.
