BOSTON - New Hampshire became the first state in the nation to take a coordinated effort to distribute hundreds of Narcan-filled boxes to every county in the state.

The NaloxBox is filled with necessary tools needed to assist someone who is experiencing symptoms of an overdose with the goal of keeping them alive. They look similar to AED boxes in many businesses and community centers.

New Hampshire has committed to purchase 700 NaloxBoxes to start. The goal is to make lifesaving medicine more accessible.
