WCPH and chambers hosting ribbon cuttings for new harm reduction vending machines

Wyandot County Public Health is partnering with the Wyandot Chamber of Commerce and the Carey Area Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the opening of three new harm reduction vending machines at Wyandot Memorial Hospital locations with two ribbon cuttings.

🎗️✂️ Join us at 1 p.m. this Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024 at the Wyandot Memorial Emergency entrance, 885 N. Sandusky Ave, Upper Sandusky, OH 43351.

🎗️✂️ Join us during Christmas in Carey at 5:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6, 2024, at Wyandot Memorial Providers in Carey, 235 E North St, Carey, OH 43316.

Vending machines will be located at three Wyandot Memorial Hospital locations including the emergency entrance of the hospital, outside of Urgent Care/Koehler Pharmacy, and at the entrance of Wyandot Memorial Providers in Carey. By offering these resources in a discreet and accessible manner, the initiative seeks to support individuals in need, promote safer practices, and ultimately save lives.

These machines were purchased with grant funding secured by Wyandot County Public Health through partnerships with the Ohio Department of Health and the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department.

Community members, healthcare professionals, and local leaders are encouraged to attend the ceremonies to celebrate this step toward a safer and healthier Wyandot County.
