UW-Madison installs more Narcan boxes across campus

Aug. 31 is National Overdose Awareness Day, and in recognition, the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced 13 new Nalox-ZONE boxes were installed on campus. The boxes offer students resources to reverse an opioid overdose. Naloxone, also called Narcan, is found in all of the boxes and is a medication that can save someone from an overdose until they can get to a hospital, UW explained.
