Helping Emergency Responders Obtain Support (HEROS) Program

Emergency Medical Services Section

Since the inception of the HEROS Program in 2018, we have provided almost one million doses of naloxone to over 560 emergency responder agencies. We want to thank our emergency responder agencies for their dedication to improving the health and well-being of their residents and visitors in their communities.

 

Effective July 1, 2025, the HEROS Program has transitioned to the Florida Department of Children and Families, Overdose Prevention Program. If you have any questions regarding the HEROS Program, please contact the Overdose Prevention Program at HEROS@myFLfamilies.com.
