May was the deadliest month for drug overdoses in San Francisco history prompting a debate over how to deal with the crisis.

McCoy says the ill-fated Tenderloin Center on Market Street, with which Health Right 360 partnered, prevented more than 300 potentially fatal overdoses in the 11 months of its operation. The city abruptly shut down the facility when it came under fire, legally and politically, for allowing onsite drug use.
