Mainline Health Systems has been approved for funding through the ARORP Naloxone Hero Program and will receive support from the Arkansas Naloxone Bank to expand access to naloxone for families and community members across south Arkansas. This award represents a meaningful investment in overdose revention, public safety, and community health throughout the region.

Through this funding, Mainline Health Systems will receive $14,208.00 to obtain naloxone for dissemination in Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Cleveland, Drew, Lincoln, Columbia, Grant, and surrounding areas, as outlined in the approved application. The program period will officially run from May 18, 2026, through May 18, 2027, supporting year-long efforts to prevent overdose-related deaths while increasing access to life-saving resources for those at risk and the individuals who care for them.

Naloxone is a proven, life-saving medication that reverses the effects of opioid overdoses when
administered promptly. Expanded access to naloxone empowers families, friends, first responders,
and community members to take immediate action during overdose emergencies and strengthens
local response efforts across rural and undeserved communities.

On June 5th from 9 – 2 at the Sadie T. Johnson Community Center (707 US Hwy 278, Monticello), Commercial Bank will join partners, including the Drew County Health Coalition, to provide education and resources to protect Seniors from financial exploitation. In addition, the Drew County Sheriff’s Department will be on site to accept expired or unused prescription medication for safe disposal.

Criminals work day and night to deceive Americans out of their hard-earned money. The problem is getting worse. Our Senior community is especially vulnerable because they generally trust others, display kindness to strangers, and try to help those who report to be in need.
