2025 in Review: This year, Emily Keller- Special Secretary of Opioid Response- Maryland and our team visited over 60 local partners across Maryland!
In September, we visited the Wicomico County Health Department, where we saw one of their naloxone vending machines in action.
These visits provide invaluable opportunities to engage directly with our local partners to hear about the challenges they face and their success in implementing programs that can reduce overdoses and increase connections to substance use care.

🤒 Feeling sick with the flu? Know what to do.
Flu activity is high this respiratory illness season, and we are seeing a significant number of flu cases in our community. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause mild to severe illness and sometimes lead to serious complications.
Common flu symptoms include: fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headache, and fatigue. Some people—especially children—may also have vomiting or diarrhea.
If you have flu symptoms, stay home, limit contact with others, and follow your healthcare provider’s guidance. Antiviral medications may help, especially for those at higher risk, when started early.
Help protect yourself and others by staying home when sick, covering coughs and sneezes, and practicing good hand hygiene.
