Happy National Health Center Week!

August 3-9 is National Health Center Week! Join us in thanking our health center staff for their dedication, service and commitment to a stronger, healthier and more equitable health system.

Health Centers, like Evergreen, are community-based and patient-directed organizations that provide affordable, accessible, high-quality primary health care services in areas where economic, geographic or cultural barriers limit access to affordable health care.

We’re here to support the health of people who use drugs

Each August 31 we commemorate Overdose Awareness Day to bring awareness to the overdose epidemic our Western New York community continues to face. We’re here to support people who use drugs with free harm reduction tools to reduce the risk of overdose, as well as substance use treatment for people who want to reduce their use or stop using.

Carrying Narcan (naloxone nasal spray) with you is an easy step that anyone can take to help save someone’s life from an overdose. Stop by any Evergreen Health harm reduction center for free Narcan, as well as a free 10-minute training on how to use it.

We have harm reduction centers in our locations at 206 S. Elmwood Ave in Buffalo, and 320 Prather Ave in Jamestown.

You can also get free Narcan and test strips at our two 24/7 harm reduction vending machines at:

Evergreen Health, 320 Prather Ave, Jamestown NY

Safe Point Lighthouse, 303 Main St, Dunkirk
