Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, an opportunity to remember those that we have lost to overdose, walk together in the shared grief of those left behind, and commit to working together to end overdose and related impacts.

Overdose affects individuals, families, and communities, and preventing it remains an important part of the Indian Health Service’s mission. Each person’s path to treatment and recovery is different, and each of us has a role in helping connect people with the care they need. Whether you complete overdose response training, carry naloxone, practice and promote safe medication storage, help connect someone to treatment, or support a person in recovery, you can play a role in preventing overdose and supporting healthier communities.

“I want to thank President Trump and Secretary Kennedy for their trust in me and appreciate the U.S. Senate’s confirmation. I am humbled by the opportunity to serve American Indian and Alaska Native communities as the new director of the Indian Health Service,” said Cruz. “I look forward to working closely with Tribal leaders, urban Indian organizations, our dedicated workforce, and partners across Indian Country to strengthen Tribal consultation, improve access to high-quality, culturally appropriate healthcare, hire health professionals our communities need, and modernize the Indian health system.”
