Emily's Hope Naloxone Distribution Program
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach is launching a statewide public awareness campaign to address the growing fentanyl crisis that is taking a devastating toll on our communities. More than 1,500 Kansans have already lost their lives to fentanyl overdoses, and the threat continues to rise. This deadly drug is not only consumed by those who seek it out, but is increasingly laced into other substances, a social event, with friends, online, or unknowingly consuming pills that contain fentanyl. Since an overdose can happen anywhere at any time, it’s critical to have easy access to Naloxone to save a life.

The Kansas Attorney General's Office has partnered with Emily’s Hope to make naloxone accessible statewide through innovative distribution boxes - repurposed newspaper stands stocked with naloxone kits.
Each distribution box contains naloxone - 2 doses per box.
To maximize access, we have collaborated with 40 colleges and universities across Kansas to place these boxes in visible, public, temperature-controlled locations where community members could easily find and use them.
Every host site receives ongoing support, including box refills and assistance as
needed, from the Kansas Attorney General’s Office and DCCA.
