The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) School of Pharmacy hosted a drive-thru drug take back event on March 10, 2024. The event, held in the parking lot near the LECOM Ambulatory Surgery Center, was a great success, as volunteers accepted unused and expired medications from the public.
Proper and safe disposal of the medications entailed dropping the drugs into the designated “drive-thru drop-off” containers. Inhalers and other combustible items were the only medications not accepted.
LECOM is committed to assisting in ensuring the health and safety of the public; and this event is yet another undertaking that emphasizes the LECOM adage: “the Community is our Campus.”
