The public health of Thurston County uses three video poster rooms for the overdose prevention campaign

From the Personal Chronicle

Thurston County Public Health & Social Services promotes its overdose prevention campaign by buying three advertising panel areas in the district.

The Thurston County Board of Commissioners approved the purchases on Tuesday for three months of campaign messages of $ 33,000, an average of $ 11,000 for each advertising board with Pacific outdoor advertising.

The messages are placed on advertising boards on the US Highway 101 and Old Highway 99, including a place of 10 feet near the Tumwater Boulevard and a 14 foot after 48 feet near Steamboat Island Road Northwest and State Route 108.

The Ministry of Health starts several local overdose prevention campaigns that contain news to promote awareness of naloxone and where they can be preserved, how to recognize an overdose and other related information and react to it. This messaging is adapted from the campaign to overdose the health authority of Friends for Life Overdosis, and all campaign materials correspond to the goals and strategies in the Opioid reaction plan of Thurston County.

Dr. Jennifer Freiheit, director of public health and social services in the district, informed the commissioners last week that the Billboard locations were selected because they have the best viewer.

In Thurston County there is an additional video billboard room in the State Route 510, which the district uses for an overdose -measurement by another company.

According to the sole source or form of liberation, which is included in the boarding package of the board, the team for public health and social issues adopted three companies that offer video advertising boards and heard from two of them. Pacific Outdoor was the only provider who operated video advertising boards along the state motorways with video functions and is located in the district.
