Ohio Co. Participates in the American Medicine Chest Challenge














Check out WTRF-7 media coverage of the 11/13 American Medicine Chest Challenge event! An estimated 30 to 50 community members took advantage of this free medication disposal day. Thanks to all of the community volunteers from the Ohio Co. Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, Valley Hospice, RSVP (Retired Seniors Volunteer Program), Cardinal Health and the Wheeling Police Department (our AMCC Law Enforcement Partner), who all worked so hard made this event possible! The Coalition and its community partners were excited to take part in this national event to raise awareness and get unused & expired medications "off the street" to prevent prescription drug abuse.
