198 lives gone – but honored and never forgotten. In 2023, Adams County accounted for nearly one in ten overdose deaths across Colorado. Just ahead of International Overdose Awareness Day, the Adams County Health Department (ACHD) is re-doubling its efforts to protect lives and reduce the stigma of overdose-related deaths, rebranding its Harm Reduction program as Project Connects.
Our promise to the community: Promoting Health, Building Connections.
As part of our introduction of Project Connects to the community, we invite members of local news organizations to join us as we lay flags in honor of the 198 lives lost to overdoses last year.
The event will feature visuals of the flags and interviews with Project Connects members about their work to fight overdoses and the services they provide daily to keep people safe.
- Where: ACHD Westminster Clinic, 1401 W. 122nd Ave., #200, Westminster
- When: Thursday, Aug. 29, at 2 p.m.
Please contact Jennifer Lucero Alvarez at 720.327.2653 or [email protected] to coordinate coverage.

"Shingle Mountain" Removed Thanks to Public/Private Partnership
Adams County Commissioners were joined by representatives from Colorado Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Fiore and Sons Construction, and Republic Services to celebrate the last load of shingles leaving a property near the intersection of Interstate 25 and Interstate 76. More than 112,000 cubic yards of shingles were illegally dumped on this site leading to a long legal battle between the county and the previous owner of the property. The county's efforts to enforce the code violations at this site date back to January 2015.
