Is there fentanyl in Fountain Hills? And by the way, what is fentanyl?
Those questions are being posed by the Fountain Hills Coalition as it seeks assistance and answers from residents in filling out an online survey about the dangerous drug.
Information gathered from the community survey will help coalition leaders tailor enhanced substance use prevention and resiliency building in Fountain Hills and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation.
The approximate five-minute survey seeks residentsâ opinions, concerns and awareness about the rise in fentanyl and overdoses here and around the state.
All responses are anonymous and will be used only in aggregate to help drug coalitions improve their outreach.
The Town of Fountain Hills has now received two shipments of Narcan nasal spray, a new resource to combat potential opioid overdose, which is being made available to the public at no charge.
Town Councilman and Fountain Hills Coalition board member Mike Scharnow announced that, of the 33 total doses available to the community, 17 have been given out up to this point.
âThatâs great news,â he said during an update at the May 6 Coalition meeting. âBut weâd like to get them all out there.â
Narcan nasal spray is the first nasal formulation of Naloxone, an FDA-approved product for the treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, according to Narcan.com.

I would like to congratulate Valerie Dehombreux for seven wonderful years serving as our principal of McDowell Mountain Elementary School in our Fountain Hills School District! Ms. Dehombreux (or âMs. D,â as the students and teachers affectionately call her), you will be dearly missed and we deeply thank you for your service.
Ms. D had huge shoes to fill when she started serving as principal after Ms. Joanne Meehanâs 30 wonderful years of service at our elementary school. Ms. D came in with a tremendous attitude and enhanced our school in many ways. She added a new data-driven approach and provided tremendous metrics. One of her most outstanding commitments was working tirelessly for McDowell Mountain to receive the coveted âA+ ratingâ two years ago. This makes a huge difference to parents when deciding which school their young children should attend.
