The Galveston County Daily News, February 6, 2023

Taking Our Best Shot, a University of Texas Medical Branch student-led initiative, planned to present its first of several community health seminars at the Moore Memorial Library. Attendees will receive a naloxone kit and be taught how to effectively administer it to somebody experiencing an overdose. “Taking Our Best Shot has presented hands-on presentations to the community in the past and we surveyed some students who suggested we talk about opioids and Narcan administration,” said Dorothea Morris, the organizer for Taking Our Best Shot and a University of Texas Medical Branch doctoral candidate. “We believe these presentations are important for community awareness.”
