Edison To Get 24-Hour Healthcare Kiosk From Middlesex County

EDISON, NJ – The Township of Edison will be getting a healthcare kiosk from Middlesex County.

The County is supporting Edison in its efforts to address public health and support residents throughout their wellness and recovery journey.

This kiosk is fully automated, available 24 hours and offers free, around-the-clock access to essential healthcare supplies and resource information on behavioral health.

During a recent work session, the Council adopted a resolution authorizing a memorandum of understanding with the County for the receipt of a healthcare kiosk, no later than July 1.

The location of the kiosk hasn’t been announced yet.

Back in October 2024, Middlesex County installed two healthcare kiosks in New Brunswick and Woodbridge. These were stocked with Narcan, fentanyl testing strips and xylazine testing strips and other lifesaving resources.

The initiative was funded through a federal settlement with pharmaceutical companies involved in the opioid supply chain.

The kiosks are designed to reduce stigma and increase access to critical resources, county officials say. They serve as an alternative to pharmacies and local service providers, offering discreet access to harm reduction supplies when traditional sources may be unavailable, such as during evenings or weekends.
