Overdose Revival Award Presented: Hendricks, IN

DANVILLE, IN – In June 2022, Nurse McEvilly and the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department 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, the nurse and jail staff members responded to the scene and administered naloxone to help reverse an overdose.

This team saved the 3 patients’ lives.

Saving a patient from overdosing is a team effort. To celebrate their actions and recognize all individuals involved, Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc.
