REMEMBRANCE CLOCK

000000

In the US, a person dies from opioid overdose / fentanyl poisoning every five minutes. The Remembrance Clock started recording overdoses and fentanyl poisonings on January 1st, 2024, and will run continuously. The clock is an approximation based on past data. It was designed to create awareness of this silent epidemic and honor the victims of this crisis.

ZOOP's TROOPS Nonprofit founded and run by healthcare professionals whose mission is to equip health providers with the necessary resources to integrate fentanyl awareness into patient care.

The Critical Gap :
Addressing Fentanyl Awareness

During patient onboarding interviews, healthcare providers ask a variety of questions to understand a patient’s overall health and lifestyle. These questions can cover topics like tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. Pediatricians, in particular, may also inquire about mental health issues such as suicidal thoughts, feelings of depression, and tendencies to hurt themselves or others. However, discussions about the dangers of fentanyl and opioids are often overlooked.

Why This Matters

For Americans age 18-45, the leading cause of death is fentanyl overdose. The addictive drug is responsible for nearly 70% of the United States’ 107,000+ drug overdose deaths in the past year and is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Despite this, many doctors and healthcare providers do not prioritize discussing opioid dangers with their patient.

Welcome to Zoop’s Troops –  a newly formed nonprofit created to help health providers educate their patients about the fentanyl poisoning crime wave that’s killing over a hundred thousand people a year. 

A Lifelong Friendship From 1974 to Today

We are Andrew J. Zupicich Rph and Peter A. Bohlman PA (ret). We have been best friends since 1974. Can you imagine that? Childhood in the 70s. Adolescence and young adulthood in the 80s. School, work, and starting families in the 90s and 2000s. Watching the world fly by in the 2010s and 2020s.

Witnessing the Crisis
A Growing Concern

As health professionals, we watched the horror of the fentanyl poisoning crisis get worse year after year.  We taught our own kids and found comfort that they were knowledgeable enough to avoid the dangers.  But what about all the other kids out there?  They are sitting ducks.    Our government was oblivious – light years behind our enemies. 

Taking a Stand
Combating Fentanyl with Determination

We don’t like bullies. We don’t like drug dealers getting away with murdering our kids. This is a huge problem, but so was drunk driving and MADD did a great job with that. We decided that utilizing our healthcare training would be the smartest course of action. Health providers needed help in this arena and we knew we could help.

Educating Every Health Provider on Fentanyl Dangers

There are approximately 400,000 health provider offices in the US. We want to train them – every one – on the dangers of fentanyl poisoning crisis. The ultimate goal is for them to include the counseling of their patients as part of their healthcare routine. It is the number one cause of death of people 45 and younger, so this is only logical, right?

A Four-Year Plan
Join Us in the Fight

We’re giving ourselves 4 years to accomplish this. 

Our kids need help. They are on the battlefield – alone, unaware, and defenseless – and they are getting slaughtered. We ALL need to come onto the battlefield and protect them.  Pete and I are going to do our part –  we’ll be focusing on the medical side.  We can do this – but we’re starting from scratch and need your donations to get started. 

Donate to Zoop's Troops

Zoop’s Troops is a brand-new nonprofit, starting from scratch.

We need your help to get everything up and running.  This isn’t our first rodeo, by the way.  I was president of a successful, global company for 11 years until our acquisition by a Fortune 200 company.  Pete is a master of all things administrative along with a brilliant medical mind.  He’s the brains, I’m the brawn.   We are adept at running lean and mean.   We won’t be taking salaries for the foreseeable future, nor do we require an office –  but we still need the basics like laptops, printers, services, subscriptions.

Your donation will lay the foundation for our mission.  ANY dollar amount will be appreciated!!!  We are on the clock –  four years for all healthcare provider offices to get certified through our eLearning Module. 

The fentanyl poisoning / opioid overdose crisis is all encompassing.  Our government is asleep at the wheel, so it’s up to us.  We can do this.  100%.  But the problem needs to be addressed by multiple angles utilizing multiple resources. 

Zoop’s Troops will focus on addressing and solving this crucial part of the crisis.    

It’s time to get onto the battlefield and protect our kids.

Thanks for listening and thanks for your support.

Pete and Zoop
