OnPoint NYC is a New York City nonprofit that operates two privately run safe injection sites (also known as Overdose Prevention Centers) in East Harlem and Washington Heights.[2] Placed at the sites of existing syringe service programs,[3] these were America's first safe injection facilities when they opened in November 2021.[2]
