Today, Chief Administrator Ray and Director Tammie met with Elsberry Mayor Steve Wilch to install LCADs first NaloxBox at Elsberry City Park.

LCAD was awarded a Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) grant in effort to reduce morbidity and mortality from opioid and substance abuse. The NaloxBox has been made available because of funding from the grant and Naloxone is available to the public for free.

Naloxone is a life-saving medication that, when given in time, can reverse an overdose from opioids including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Naloxone being accessible to citizens in our community is a huge win as time is of the essence in an overdose situation.

The following are signs and symptoms to look for to identify a potential overdose:
• Loss of consciousness, unresponsiveness
• Limp body
• Slowed breathing, choking, gurgling
• Small, "pinpoint" pupils
• Pale, blue or cold skin
• Slowed or absent heart rate
Call 911 in an emergency situation

Plans are in place for more NaloxBoxs to be installed throughout our community. ... See MoreSee Less

SPECIAL NEEDS TRACKING AND AWARENESS RESPONSE SYSTEM

S.T.A.R.S

The ambulance district has joined several others in the St. Louis area that have started a new program called S.T.A.R.S. — Special Need Tracking and Awareness Response System.

The program is for special needs patents especially under the age of 18 and allows the district to be aware of any medical conditions it may encounter when responding to an emergency call.

The S.T.A.R.S. program was founded a few years ago by Shelby Cox, EMS liaison for Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center, and Tricia Casey, a paramedic with Rock Township Ambulance District. Once our district attended a meeting and learned more about the program, our administrators and paramedics agreed it would be beneficial to local families.

To learn more information about the S.T.A.R.S. Program, contact Battalion Chief Janet Norton, Lincoln County Ambulance District STARS Coordinator, at 636-528-8488  ext. 306 or [email protected] or fill out the form below and we will contact you.
