Westlake Village resident Matthew Pall knows the effects of the opioid epidemic firsthand. He lost his girlfriend and later his best friend to overdoses, and has spent years as a paramedic, resuscitating people in the back of an ambulance.
Pall has taken it upon himself to prevent others experiencing similar pain by founding Conejo Health, an organization that distributes Narcan--a drug that treats overdoses--and teaches people how to administer it, as well as how to spot the signs of an overdose.
