Testimonial

Leila Ramos

As a high school student, Leila Ramos experienced the heartbreak of losing several family members to overdoses from opioids.
 
Determined to help prevent that heartbreak for other families, Leila founded the nonprofit “Hope Resuscitated,” that expanded public access to the medication Narcan that reverses the deadly effects of overdoses from opioids.
 
Recently, Leila sat down with CAHS Video Producer Tembi Muna to talk about her mission and about how CAHS mentored and inspired her to help others. Click here to watch Leila’s story.
