Please allow ample time to complete the class, test, and obtain your food handler card. This process typically takes two hours (9:00-11:00am).

Renewal tests are by appointment only. Please call 304-728-8416 extension 3021 or 3037 to schedule your appointment.

JCHD staff will provide Narcan training at the health department on the first Thursday of each month from 4:00-5:00 PM. This training is free and open to the public. Participants will receive a certificate of training, and get a rescue kit with two doses of naloxone.
Naloxone (Narcan, Evzio) is a medication designed to rapidly reverse opioid overdose. It is an opioid antagonist—meaning that it binds to opioid receptors and can reverse and block the effects of opioids. It can very quickly restore normal respiration to a person whose breathing has slowed or stopped as a result of overdosing with heroin or prescription pain medications. If you or a loved one use opioids – prescribed or not – having this medication available in an emergency and knowing how to use it saves lives.
