Thanks, Pickens Rotary

The donation allowed for the purchase of 44 doses of Narcan, a life saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications when given in time. PPD appreciates Rotary continued support and the work the club does in our community.
