So we have 65 so outside of the overdose, the overdose settlement funds, we have 65 OASIS licensed clinics across the city.
0:38:40
We have 14 nurse care manager programs.
0:38:43
We have 14 SSPs, and the SSPs tend to be located in those communities of highest overdose rates, and they really see that as their work is to have that effect in the community.
0:38:55
We also have, I think, 1100, OOPs.
0:38:59
Those are the programs that are licensed to be providing overdose education and handout kits, and we have 1100 across the city.
