Founder's Note

July 2025

At HarborPath, we believe that education and naloxone access are two of the most powerful tools we have to combat the opioid crisis and save lives. Our HarborPath On Campus program was built on this belief - helping universities establish effective naloxone distribution systems while educating students about the hidden dangers of fentanyl. We’ve already seen the impact this approach can have through our partnership with Ole Miss, where the program was embraced by both campus leaders and students. That success has sparked meaningful conversations with other schools and states who recognize the urgent need for proactive solutions on their campuses.


The reality is that fentanyl is showing up in places students don’t expect, and many don’t realize how quickly an overdose can happen. Naloxone is a life-saving resource, but only if it’s accessible and students know how and when to use it. Universities have a critical role to play, not just in prevention but in empowering students to protect one another.


HarborPath is actively meeting with universities around the country discussing its On Campus program to provide campuses with an effective naloxone distribution system and student education campaign regarding the dangers of hidden fentanyl. I’m excited to share more in an upcoming newsletter.


These partnerships would not be possible without the support of our exclusive distributor, FFF Enterprises. With a proven track record and deep logistical expertise, FFF is a national leader in delivering critical care products to patients and healthcare systems across the country.


Through education, awareness, access, and distribution, we can make college campuses safer and save lives.


-Ken Trogdon, President of HarborPath

Rhode Island is taking a major step towards protecting college students. The state recently passed a law requiring naloxone to be available in all college dorms on every campus in the state. This is a common-sense step that will save lives. Naloxone can only save a life if it's available when an emergency strikes, and by having it on hand in every dorm building, this will ensure it can be easily accessed if it's ever needed.


We know that college campuses are a critical location for ensuring naloxone access.


At HarborPath, our On Campus program is already helping universities build effective naloxone distribution systems and education campaigns. We’ve seen firsthand the impact this can have at places like Ole Miss and others, where students are stepping up to protect their communities.


Colleges don’t have to wait for legislation to make smart, life-saving decisions. This type of proactive protection and preparedness will ultimately save lives. Read the full article from The Providence Journal.

New illicit drug containing fentanyl and powerful sedative may be behind mass overdose in Baltimore



A mass overdose in Baltimore’s Penn North neighborhood on July 10 sent at least 27 people to the hospital, likely caused by drugs laced with fentanyl and a rare sedative, N-methylclonazepam. The drug cocktail is being referred to as "New Jack City". In response, officials and advocates distributed Narcan and test strips, warning users to be extremely cautious. Read the full story.


Ken's Take: According to this article, many people who overdosed on New Jack City in Baltimore this month remained unconscious even after receiving naloxone due to N-methylclonazepam. This is why it is so critical we help users get off of fentanyl and overcome addiction. Otherwise, we will always be fighting against increasingly powerful and deadly drug cocktails like New Jack City.
