WASHINGTON D.C. — Amid tens of thousands at the March for Life, Emanuel Donovan of Wakefield carried one of the two posts holding up the Arlington Catholic sign.
"I'm here because I believe in the rights of the unborn. We need to speak for them. We are their voice," said Donovan, a 17-year-old junior, as the crowd was slowly making its way from the National Mall to Constitution Avenue.
WMUR is reporting the capital city fire department is launching a new "mobile opioid response unit" that will follow ambulances responding to heroin-related calls in order to help overdose victims in particular find the treatment and rehabilitation they need.
The Concord fire department unit will initially be funded by a recently received $127,000 federal grant and will provide immediate follow-up care to those needing medical intervention for overdose. Until now, the report says, emergency medical service (EMS) providers have not been able to offer anything to patients other than immediate medical relief.
