Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Tuesday kicked off a series of visits with recipients of the “EMS Leave Behind Program,” an effort funded through the state’s opioid settlement.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice said the program allows EMS professionals to distribute – or “leave behind” – overdose prevention tools and resources at the scene of care, or after transport to a hospital, with the patient and/or their social networks (family, friends, roommates, etc.).
