ATSU’s Harm Reduction Club leads effort to deliver 3,600 naloxone kits across Arizona
Posted: November 14, 2025
Founded in 2021, A.T. Still University’s (ATSU) Harm Reduction Club continues to make an impact across Arizona through education, outreach, and advocacy.
This year, more than 160 volunteers joined the club to assemble over 3,600 naloxone kits, providing lifesaving resources to individuals throughout the state. Each kit represents ATSU’s ongoing commitment to public health and its mission to serve with compassion and purpose.
In addition to outreach efforts, the club hosted educational events highlighting the importance of how to administer naloxone to reverse opioid overdoses. These initiatives emphasize the University’s dedication to preparing future physicians who are equipped to address the opioid epidemic through evidence-based, empathetic care.
“Our goal is to create meaningful change by combining medical education with community action,” said club co-president Helen Dang, OMS II. “Through harm reduction, we’re able to meet people where they are, save lives, and uphold the osteopathic philosophy of treating the whole person.”
