A new addition at the 68th Street Transportation Center is looking to meet people where they are to provide medical supplies they need for free. <\/p>\n

The new kiosk in Upper Darby Township offers items such as Narcan, fentanyl testing strips, feminine hygiene products plus COVID and STI testing kits at no cost. <\/p>\n

The Delaware County Health Department partnered with the county’s District Attorney’s Office to include gun locks in the kiosk too. <\/p>\n

Since adding the gun locks in March, officials told NBC10 that they’ve given out 16. <\/p>\n

“We wanted to be intentional about not only meeting harm reduction needs but also public health in general,” Dr. Gifty Key, of the Delaware County Health Department, said. <\/p>\n

The health department is investing $15,000 each month to stock the kiosk at 69th Street and the others in Yeadon, Media, Chester and Delaware County Community College. <\/p>\n

Since opening the first few kiosks last September, officials said they’ve given out over 2,000 products and they’re hoping more people in need take advantage of the service. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new addition at the 68th Street Transportation Center is looking to meet people where they are to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[212,147,149,148,150],"class_list":["post-2677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-upper-darby","tag-delaware-county","tag-upper-darby","tag-upper-darby-headlines","tag-upper-darby-news","tag-upper-darby-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
