2/14 – Free Naloxone Administration Training

Posted on by

Hello,

You are invited to a free naloxone administration training on Friday, February 14 from 9-10 am at 2000 Alameda de las Pulgas, San Mateo, in the Atrium Room. 

San Mateo County BHRS invites you to an informative presentation on overdose prevention, how to recognize symptoms of an overdose and what to do about it! Attendees will receive a free box of naloxone. 

*Please note this session will be filmed as part of a training demonstration project with the UCSF Alumni Program.*

Our very own Dr. Ronni Brown was named recipient of the 2025 UCSF Alumni Practitioner Award, recognizing an alumnus whose work demonstrates clinical empathy, understanding and caring within health care. To help honor this achievement, UCSF will be getting video footage of Ronni administering the training.
