The drugmaker, Adapt Pharma, made the announcement about the gift during a summit Monday held by the Clinton Foundation's Health Matters Initiative, which is collaborating on the project."

"The Department of Health and Human Services has made opioid overdoses a national public health priority, educating doctors about being more judicious in prescribing painkillers like oxycodone, codeine and morphine."

"Adapt Pharma, manufacturers of a nasal-spray form of naloxone, also known as Narcan, has partnered with the Clinton Health Matters Initiative to further expand access to the life-saving drug, the two groups said at the final day of the Clinton Health Matters Initiative Activation Summit. Naloxone is nonaddictive, nontoxic and easy to administer, especially through nasal application. It reverses the effects of an opioid overdose by essentially blocking the opioid receptors that heroin and many prescription painkillers target."

"The new program is part of the foundation's Health Matters Initiative, and builds on a previous one, in which Adapt provided first responders with naloxone in nasal spray form at a discounted price. The foundation already has an existing partnership with pharma company Kaléo to provide an injectable form of naloxone to colleges at a reduced price. But this new program expands on those initiatives, allowing schools access to the life-saving drug at no cost."

As "Naloxone is an important tool in fighting the recent spike of opioid-related deaths in the U.S. (up 200% since 2000, to be exact), and heroin use across high school campuses is on the rise, many are applauding the Health Matters Initiative's as a vital tool in saving the lives of young ones."

Coachella Valley Day of Action participants give back to the community
Before the Summit officially kicked off, the Clinton Foundation hosted a Day of Action at La Quinta High School, where more than 75 students, teachers, and parents came together to cultivate a community garden and prepare and donate 150 healthy meals. Read a piece authored by a local student volunteer<http://www.desertsun.com/story/opinion/contributors/2016/01/25/valley-voice-la-quinta-high-health-matters-day-of-action/79316058/> on the importance of health and giving back, and read another piece here<http://www.desertsun.com/story/news/health/2016/01/24/clinton-foundation-volunteer-day-helps-la-quinta-high-school/79002498/> about the day and its impact.

"As volunteers ate lunch prepared and served by students in the school's impressive kitchen, Shalala said the Day of Action is a chance for the foundation to give back as it hosts the annual health summit and sponsors the CareerBuilder Challenge golf tournament in the Coachella Valley."

"Part of being a good citizen in our community is not only finding something you're passionate about and working in school and finding a career, but also giving back to your community," said Shalala, who served as secretary of Health and Human Services under President Bill Clinton. "We want to make sure that while we're changing the world and making it better for everybody, we're also taking small steps to help our communities as well. And that's the message we want to pass on to young people in particular."

New CHMI Focus Community announced
Knox County, Illinois was announced as CHMI's sixth focus community under its Community Health Transformation portfolio. CHMI and its partners will engage key thought leaders and community stakeholders to develop a framework for improved health to decrease preventable disease and address health inequities and disparities. Read about the announcement here<http://www.galesburg.com/article/20160125/NEWS/160129803>.

"The city and county, along with the foundation and the drug company, will collaborate to come up with a "blueprint for action," to tackle health issues in the county."

"During the process, the foundation workers will meet with community stakeholders to identify where any problems may lie. For example, in Coachella, California, another Clinton Health Matters community, one priority identified was fighting HIV and the foundation along with the community provided resources to offer community screenings for the virus."
