Karl still needs to work on this! Will reach out to folks (Michelle/Don) if help needed.
Naloxone Supplies and Training
Should be good on these.
Signage
Haven playing around with a design for idea for a smaller signs for reagent testing.
Mimicking QR Code posters.
New signage - updating aged posters.
- had questions on if National had posters they can send us
Still didn’t quite answer about bigger posters - they have an ongoing project.
- or if it's okay if we had these posters made ourselves
Yes they recommend Office Depot/Staples.
Examples of new poster (size 8x10):
Michelle did print and laminate.
FTIR Testing w/ PubHealth
Thru Georgia! Best way is thru her work phone# and you can ask Karl for her number if interested. Texting thru Signal works too. Also calling is okay. E-spectronomy out on Thurs/Fri. At the Robert Clewis Center, Needle Exchange on 4th & Blanchard in Belltown. Downtown public health building - do FTIR, fent strip testing, but also access to GCMS testing thru U of North Carolina. Wed/Thurs/Fri, 9-5p.
Can test everything except weed and shrooms. Liquid is iffy, and LSD needs to be sent to the lab.
Can’t advertise too much, folks get some harassment sometimes for using services. :(
Also can go to PHRA (Fri/Sun afternoons)! Downtown Needle Exchange has drop boxes.
