Garnet Health to Host Free Narcan® Training

MIDDLETOWN, NY (Dec. 8, 2025) — Garnet Health Medical Center and Garnet Health Medical Center – Catskills will host free Narcan training, sponsored by Independent Living, Orange County Government, and OASAS. The training will teach participants how to recognize an overdose, administer Narcan and use harm reduction techniques. Each attendee will receive a free dose of Narcan upon completion of the training.  

Narcan is a lifesaving medication that can quickly reverse an opioid overdose. It works by blocking the effects that opioids such as heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone and morphine have on the brain, allowing the person to breathe normally again.
