Hunterdon Opioid Safety Initiative at the Hunterdon County Health Department - 3/12/2026
As part of the Hunterdon Opioid Safety Initiative, One Voice presented a powerful program 'Gas Station Drugs and Opioids' to the staff at the Hunterdon County Health Department. Learning to identify common substances referred to as 'gas station drugs' and assess the health risks, such as dependence and overdose potential, associated with these substances was the main goal of this important and timely presentation. As part of this program, we also provided training on how to use Narcan and provided Narcan to all attendees.
We would like to thank the Health Department nurses and inspectors for all they do in partnership with the Hunterdon Opioid Safety Initiative.
One Voice of Hunterdon has launched a Pet Cannabis Safety Project to help keep our furry friends safe.
The goal of the project is to:
✔️ Learn the risks of accidental THC ingestion.
✔️ Store cannabis products safely.
✔️ Know the signs of cannabis toxicity (lethargy, wobbliness, dilated pupils, vomiting).
✔️ Seek prompt veterinary care if exposure occurs.
A huge thank you to our amazing veterinary partners for their support:
Crown Veterinary Specialists, Whitehouse Veterinary Hospital, Flemington Veterinary Hospital, All4Paws Vet Clinic, Lambertville Animal Hospital and the Stockton Veterinary Hospital.
Let’s work together to keep our pets safe!

Library Education for Safe Rx Disposal - January 2026
One Voice revisited libraries in Hunterdon County with our Safe Medication Disposal packets and how-to information. Our goal is to reach adults throughout the county who are unable to make it to a drop box location. These packets allow people to properly dispose of unused or expired medications in an effort to keep them off the streets and out of the hands of youth. Thank you to the following county libraries for partnering with us to keep our community safe: East Amwell Library, Frenchtown Library, Tewksbury Library, Readington Library, North Branch County Library and Hunterdon County Library Headquarters.
