In 2021, we opened the nation’s first two Overdose Prevention Centers. Year two data shows what our community already knows: OPCs save lives, strengthen wellness, foster safer neighborhoods, & support stabilization. Explore our Year Two Impact Report. https://t.co/uFgfEaf7fF

The data is clear—OPCs save lives. We've intervened in 2K+ overdoses. These aren’t numbers but real people. Dehumanizing coverage won’t change that. Using here instead of in public means help when needed & $20M saved. NYers deserve context, not stigma.
