Ava For Life™ Program

About Ava For Life™

Stellar Pharmacy Services stocks NARCAN® (naloxone) at no cost to providers or patients because access to life-saving treatment should never be a barrier.

The Ava For Life™ program is deeply personal to our organization. In 2018, Heather Ruszin (President) lost her beloved niece, Ava, to fentanyl poisoning. In the face of unimaginable loss, Ava's memory became the driving force behind a mission to help prevent other families from experiencing the same tragedy.

Today, Ava's legacy inspires our commitment to saving lives and combating the opioid crisis. Through the Ava For Life™ program, we provide the XpeDose™ cabinet, fully stocked with NARCAN®, ensuring life-saving medication is available immediately at the point of care.

Program Highlights

• XpeDose™ Dispensing Cabinets: NARCAN® stocked cabinets placed directly in physician offices, rehab centers, hospitals, and clinics for immediate point of care access.
• No Cost to Providers or Patients: NARCAN® is provided free of charge, removing financial barriers and ensuring life saving medication reaches those who need it most.
• Community Impact: Through partnerships with recovery and treatment centers, Ava For Life™ helps prevent opioid fatalities and supports communities in winning the battle against opioids.
• A Personal Mission: Born from the memory of Ava, this program transforms tragedy into purpose saving lives across Pennsylvania and beyond.
