Free Medication Take Back Day, April 17

Sauk Prairie hospital hosts collection site to safely dispose of old medications

Sauk Prairie Memorial Hospital & Clinics' pharmacy staff is holding a FREE Medication Take Back Day on Saturday, April 14 from 9 am to noon. A drive-thru medication drop off site will be set up at the hospital’s main entrance on Prairie Avenue in Prairie du Sac, where staff will collect and safely dispose of any old, unneeded or expired vitamins, herbals, over-the-counter and prescription medications. Please keep the pills in the original labeled prescription bottles and scratch off your name. Sharps containers will also be available upon request for used needles/lancets. For the safety of volunteers, chemotherapy medications will not be collected. This program is sponsored by the SPMH Foundation as part of its From the Heart series. Special thanks to the Sauk City and Prairie du Sac Utilities, and SPMHC volunteers.
