TCN 24/7 Public Health Vending Machine: Lifesaving Supplies at Your Convenience

Time: 2023-12-05

Drug overdose deaths in New York City have reached a critical high, with 2,668 reported deaths in 2021 compared to 2,103 in 2020. Shockingly, 84% of these deaths involved opioids, underscoring the severity of the drug epidemic. To address this crisis, TCN has launched public health vending machines, aiming to distribute essential health and safety supplies to the communities most affected by overdose deaths, ultimately improving the quality of life for drug users.

These innovative vending machines offer a low-barrier approach to reduce stigma and reach individuals who might not access traditional harm reduction services. Similar machines in the US, Europe, and Australia have proven successful in curbing overdose and infectious disease rates, making them a vital tool in combating this crisis.

Naloxone is a proven resource for reducing opioid overdose deaths, but barriers to its access remain, including the stigma of obtaining it from a physician or pharmacy. A recent innovation to increase low-barrier access is the installation of self-service public health vending machines (PHVMs) that dispense naloxone anonymously and free of charge.

Free health and wellness products available include Naloxone, Fentanyl test strips, toiletry and menstrual kits, safe sex kits, sharps containers, sterile syringes (in specific machines), and more.

While anyone can access these items, users must enter their zip code for supplies, ensuring anonymity. The machines provide multilingual instructions and additional information for convenience.

TCN's public health vending machines operate round the clock, providing life-saving harm reduction supplies conveniently, anonymously, and free of charge. These machines play a crucial role in reducing stigma and barriers to services, especially with the provision of naloxone, a key resource in preventing opioid overdose deaths.

The process of obtaining medication is remarkably convenient, requiring only the retrieval code for collection. This procedure is customizable according to your needs. The advantages of TCN's Public Health Vending Machine are:
