More people in Lorain County are stepping in to reverse overdoses, and it’s working! Here is the progress we’re seeing:
-Nearly 3 in 10 overdose emergencies in 2024 were reversed by a bystander before first responders arrived.
-Fewer people are dying from fentanyl overdoses compared to just a few years ago.

This life-saving change is linked to more people having naloxone (a safe, easy-to-use medication) and knowing how to use it. Lorain County Public Health and partners—including the Rural Response Network and the Mental Health, Addiction & Recovery Services Board—are making naloxone easy to get, so people can be ready to act in critical moments.
If you believe in being prepared, get a free naloxone rescue kit near you.
-View a map to pick up near you, or order online: loraincountyhealth.com/opioids
-Pick one up at Lorain County Public Health, 9880 Murray Ridge Road, Elyria, on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Be ready to help. You never know when you’ll be the one nearby.

What happens when you report mosquitoes? When you submit a report through our new Mosquito Activity Tracker, our team can:

-Review your concern
-Track activity across the county
-Respond more efficiently in the field

This helps us reduce mosquito populations and lower the risk of diseases like West Nile Virus. Tell us about the mosquito problem (where and what you’re seeing) in your area: https://www.loraincountyhealth.com/mosquitotracker

“Is your aerator running? You better go catch it.” 😄 But seriously, your aerator is a key part of your system. If it’s not working, your system isn’t treating wastewater properly and can impact local water quality. Make sure to:
-Listen for it running
-Check for alarms
-Call your service provider if something seems off

A working aerator helps protect your home and our waterways. Learn more: LorainCountyHealth.com/sewage
