Rx Take Back is a Resounding Success

  April 28 Prescription Take-Back was a resounding success.  We received 163.5 pounds of unused prescription drugs!  Thanks Sheriff Pat Butler of the Ohio County Sheriff''s Department and Div. Com. Sgt. Gregg McKenzie of the Wheeling PD.  And a big thanks to our coalition volunteers: Nancy Georges, Jill Eddy, Martha Polinsky, Elena Polinsky, Terri Garrett, Mark Garrett, and Brian Garrett


          




We are pleased to announce the recent promotion of Lori Garrett-Bumba to Program Director.  Lori joined our team in October 2010 as the Project Coordinator and has been an asset to our coalition goals and objectives.  Lori has been participating in prevention and coalition work since 2005 in several different capacities.  We know her experience will continue to lead us to make a difference in our community.

Martha Polinsky was hired as Project Coordinator and resumed her coalition work on May 2, 2011.  Martha previously worked with the coalition in several capacities.  She looks forward to bringing her new found knowledge about treating addiction as well as her past experience with prevention to the coalition mission.  

Please welcome them to their new positions!
