Zingerman’s employees are now set to learn how to administer naloxone, which is a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose.
This is part of a partnership with the University of Michigan.
Four lead managers of Zingerman’s have already been trained. They will now train their employees.
Gina Dahlem is a clinical associate professor of nursing at the University of Michigan. She says this partnership will save lives and bring awareness to such a program.
<i>“And it sets the tone for other businesses, I believe, to follow and to consider whether or not they would like to also incorporate in this training into their businesses.”</i>
The university is open to future partnerships with more community organizations.
