It’s a time to remember those gone too soon from overdose and help drive awareness to prevent deaths by learning more about the risks of an opioid overdose and how to save lives. The Hoan is lit PURPLE today and tomorrow in honor of International Overdose Awareness Day. According to provisional data from the CDC, of the nearly 110,000 reported drug overdose deaths in 2022, about three-quarters were attributed to opioids #IOAD2023
