Dosher Memorial Hospital: Dosher drug drop set for Wednesday, Oct. 4
Read original release on Dosher Memorial Hospital’s website here
SOUTHPORT — The 25th semi-annual “Operation Medicine Cabinet” drug take back event at Dosher Memorial Hospital is scheduled for Wednesday October 4, between the hours of 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. Local residents are invited to drop off unwanted and expired prescription medications at the hospital front entrance, where law enforcement then takes what is collected for safe incineration. One of the conveniences of this event is that it is designed so that you can “drive through and drop off,” without having to leave your car.
At Dosher’s last drug drop in April 2023, nearly 450 local households discarded 16,874 expired or unwanted narcotic pills and nearly 1,140 milliliters of narcotic liquids.
Dosher welcomes the opportunity to provide this service to local residents. For questions about Operation Medicine Cabinet, call the Dosher office of Marketing and Community Relations at 910-457-3900 or email marketing@dosher.org.
