Interested in starting your own program?

HHC can help you start your own Opioid Overdose Prevention Program.

Our History

Healing Hearts Collaborative was created in 2018 by Kevin Donovan. As a volunteer-run organization, we have been getting Narcan out into the community and filling gaps from day one.

We also help other individuals and groups start up their own OOPP, whenever possible.
