Floor Speech

Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Blair County Deputy Sheriffs Christopher Hanna and Brandon Lasure.

It is because of their quick thinking and rush to action to stop the effects of an overdose that a Blair County woman is still alive today.

Deputy Hanna and Deputy Lasure followed their training to the letter, being aware of the signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose these sheriff's deputies did not hesitate to step up and helped to save a human being.

Upon recognizing that the woman had become unresponsive, the deputies immediately called for an ambulance and delivered the appropriate doses of naloxone, a lifesaving drug designed to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

On behalf of the people of Blair County and Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I am grateful for these sheriff's deputies and their tireless work to serve our community.
