Overdose Revival Award Presented: Crawford County, MO

(Steelville) – In March 2023, Nurse Butery and Crawford County Jail staff were presented with a patient who was in need of immediate medical attention. While we cannot provide more details due to federal patient privacy and confidentiality laws, we can tell you that this team did not freeze.

Utilizing their training and professionalism, Nurse Butery, Lieutenants Brooks and Peart, and Deputies Beezley, Holtz, Lane, and McCann responded to the scene and administered naloxone to help reverse an overdose.
