CCFR, Paramedicine founder Glenn East retires


Posted

LAKE ASBURY – Clay County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Glenn East helped create the county’s paramedicine program to address opioid addiction, retired last week. Friends from Fire Rescue and Clay Behavorial Health Center joined him at an informal retirement party. The program provided Narcan to prevent deaths during an overdose, but more importantly, it provided counseling and services to families of addicts, as well as treatment options for addicts. “We wish Glenn all the best as he moves on to his next chapter. He has made a career of saving lives, and his work with the Paramedicine program continued that. He’s opened doors, started conversations and brought people together in the fight against opioid addiction in Clay County,” said Clay Behavioral CEO Irene Toto.
