The Roseburg VA Medical Center is part of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National RX Takeback event on Saturday, at both its Roseburg and Eugene campuses.

This is an opportunity for residents to dispose of unneeded medications, including those that are no longer prescribed or are out of date. In Roseburg, they can be taken to Building 1 on the VA campus. There will be a drive-up canopy, so participants don’t have to leave their vehicle. In Eugene, go to the circular driveway of the VA’s Health Care Center on Chad Drive. Medications are accepted from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Roseburg VA Chief of Pharmacy and Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Neal talked about the event on the Morning Conversation Thursday on News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN. That interview is a KQEN Podcast at www.541radio.com
