When it comes to fentanyl and opioid misuse, it’s not enough to just talk about the dangers—people need to experience what it feels like to lose control. That’s where simulations come in.
Fall in Northampton County kicks off with more than just new school supplies and changing leaves—it begins with a full month focused on wellness, connection, prevention, and recovery.
Northampton County is once again gearing up for a day filled with connection, health, and community spirit at the Live Well Be Well Event 2025—an annual celebration that’s quickly becoming a local favorite.
Summer in Northampton County is alive—music echoing down Main Street, the smell of BBQ in the air, and food truck lines winding around parks. Whether you’re dancing to a live band in Nazareth, grabbing empanadas at a Wednesday night truck rally in Bath, or catching free community events in Easton, there’s no shortage of things to do and reasons to be outside.
Growing up in a tight-knit place like Pen Argyl, Bath, or Bangor, it’s easy to believe the worst things happen elsewhere. We think fentanyl poisonings only happen in cities, on the news, or to other people—or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves.
It’s a time for accomplishment, connection, and joy, but also a time to stay alert. As we head into the summer months, it’s important to pause and ask:
Are the choices we’re making keeping us—and our loved ones—safe?
Now more than ever, we need to stay sharp, stay safe, and stay sober.
