- Staten Island gets its first set of NYC’s public health vending machines
Staten Island's first public health vending machines opened last week in Port Richmond, providing free access to health supplies like naloxone and condoms without ID or payment. Funded by opioid settlement funds, the initiative aims to expand harm reduction and reduce overdose deaths, following similar machines in Brooklyn and Queens that have been used over 70,000 times.
