Overdose Revival Award Presented: Phelps, MO

ROLLA, MO – In October 2022, Phelps County Jail staff were presented with 3 patients who were 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, the jail staff members responded to the scene and administered naloxone to help reverse 3 overdoses.

This team saved the 3 patients’ lives.
