On January 24, 2018, Evan Resnikoff, Chief of Operations, Newtown Ambulance Squad, informed the Newtown Board of Supervisors that his Squad will participate fully in PA's Health Emergency Declaration program and leave behind Narcan for at-risk patients who refuse to be hospitalized after rescue by the Squad. This was made possible by Federal grant to Bucks County to purchase Narcan and distribute it to EMS.
