Restaurant Accolade Program

The CDC has identified restaurants as one of the industries whose workforce has a high incidence of overdose.

The Office of Health Crisis Response (OHCR) at the Division of Public Health (DPH) commissioned the Restaurant Accolade Program to assist the restaurant industry with addressing the drug overdose crisis.

This initiative will equip restaurant employees with knowledge, skills, and resources — such as Narcan® kits — to reduce deaths.

Participants

The Restaurant Accolade Program will recognize efforts at three levels, based on education and participation:

Silver Level

Completion of bronze criteria plus having one to two workers trained to help those in need find resources.

Bronze Level

Restaurant employees receive overdose prevention training, and Narcan is readily available on-site (training provided by DPH free of charge).

Support these restaurants that help our community.
