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.

Blizzard Warning
View this video to see what county roads looked like during our last blizzard. It was just a few weeks ago when blizzard conditions left hundeds of cars and drivers stranded on Adams County roads. Please pay special attention to the forecast this time around, especially if you plan to travel on county roads east of Sable Blvd. These roads are exposed to high winds and are likely to look a lot like the images from a few weeks ago. Please be safe and help our crews keep the roads clear.

DENVER - After seeing cases of rabies in skunks out of Larimer County and canine distemper from raccoons in Adams County, Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds residents of the importance to get their pets vaccinated and to always avoid touching any wildlife.
In Larimer County, a large number of skunks did not head into their dens for the winter and the cases seen from those that had contact with dogs were positive for rabies. Larimer County officials have seen more than a dozen positive rabies cases this year.
