Mendocino County ranked #1 for opioid overdoses among California counties in 2021. Today, Mendocino County ranks 10th. We explore the reasons why in this newscast. In addition to organizations like Fort Bragg’s Care Response Unit, Mendonoma Health Alliance in Gualala, MCAVHN Care and Prevention Network in Ukiah, and SafeRX Mendocino in Willits, there are individuals like Marji Brunelle who have made it their mission to prevent overdoses, particularly among the formerly incarcerated people who may also be houseless.
