Event provides opportunity for proper disposal of medications

DALLAS –Expired, unused and unwanted medications in our homes can end up in the wrong hands or can leach into soil and water. In an effort to prevent accidents and improper disposal of potentially harmful substances, twice a year Parkland Health & Hospital System and the Dallas County Hospital District Police Department participate in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.

This year’s first National Drug Take Back Day event will take place from 10 a.m. –2 p.m., Saturday, April 27 at Parkland’s Ron J. Anderson, MD Clinic, 5184 Tex Oak Ave., Dallas 75235 and Parkland’s Garland Health Center, 802 Hopkins St., Garland 75040.
