Wagoner Community Hospital Hosts Candlelight Vigil To Remember Overdose Victims

The Wagoner Community Hospital held a candlelight vigil on Thursday night to remember victims who've died from drug overdoses.

The event was part of the city's "Overdose Awareness Week."

Organizers say the goal this week was to educate the community on substance abuse and behavioral health disorders while addressing stigma, treatment and recovery.

The candlelight vigil recognized those who have died from overdoses, those who are still battling addiction and those who are in recovery.

On Friday the hospital will host a substance use disorder training and a support group to wrap up "Overdose Awareness Week."
