October 11-17 is Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Week, and we're joining the fight to raise awareness about the dangers of this deadly drug.

Fentanyl overdoses are happening every day, and even a tiny amount can be deadly.
Education is to prevention. Let’s work together to share the facts about the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills.
