MCHD observing one-year anniversary of Prevention & Wellness Kiosks

MOBILE, Ala. — Last year, the Mobile County Health Department’s (MCHD) Overdose Prevention program worked with LTS Health on a project to supply kiosks across the community to offer free naloxone kits and condoms, enhancing community health. The project has continued to expand in 2025.

“MCHD’s Overdose Prevention program proudly marks the first anniversary of its Prevention & Wellness kiosk initiative launch,” said Dr. Kevin Michaels, Health Officer for Mobile County. “This was a groundbreaking effort to promote accessible health resources and preventive care throughout the community.

“Since its launch in November 2024, the initiative has provided residents with convenient access to Narcan, gun locks, and condoms at five strategically located kiosks across the county.”

The kiosks can be found at B-Bob’s Bar (213 Conti Street in Mobile), Vista Medical (1359 Spring Hill Avenue in Mobile), Shell Health (4321 Downtowner Loop North in Mobile), Semmes Pharmacy (8985 Moffett Road in Semmes) and at MCHD’s Women, Infants & Children (WIC) office at 19255 North Main Street in Citronelle serve as vital tools to help residents.

“By making prevention and wellness resources available in the community, we are empowering our residents to take charge of their health,” said Danielle Simpson, who oversees MCHD’s Overdose Prevention program. “We are thrilled to celebrate the positive impact these kiosks have had over the past year and look forward to expanding our reach in the future.”

Mobile County was the first in the state to launch an initiative of its kind, and we look forward to expanding this initiative if funding allows.

“When you include the five Prevention & Wellness kiosks that MCHD has placed across Mobile County, the state has made great strides in the distribution of Narcan to the communities,” said Dr. Michaels. “We have great examples now in Montgomery along with Mobile, Elmore, and Jefferson counties. These are ideas that are influencing others to take the risk in saving lives.”

Since the program’s launch, hundreds of residents have utilized the kiosks, underscoring the community’s commitment to healthier living. As part of the anniversary celebration, MCHD encourages everyone to visit a kiosk and explore the range of resources available.
