Imagine all the prescription medications that are thrown away every year, because they are no longer needed. Perhaps your doctor has changed the dosage after you just refilled a 90-day supply. Or a patient dies and has pain killers just sitting there, tempting for others to take, or sell, or die from. Today, we're talking with Rusty Curington, he's the director of Cincinnati's charitable St Vincent De Paul Pharmacy, talking about a proposed change in Ohio law that would allow individuals to donate unneeded or unused prescriptions to these types of pharmacies. The benefits are numerous, from the cost savings for people who can't afford them, to keeping society safe from the drugs contaminating the environment (if they're discarded) or hit the streets. Scott Sloan's interview is very informative. Then, Rachel Murray, the Communications Coordinator for the City of Blue Ash, is here to share family-friendly events and information about one of the best neighborhoods in the Tri-State.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
