The OC Health Care Agency (HCA) encourages community members to drop-off expired, unused or unwanted prescription medications from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the 20th “National Take Back Day” on Saturday, April 24 at numerous locations throughout Orange County.
“This is a great opportunity for folks to clean out their medicine cabinets while helping to safeguard the health and well-being of those they love,” said Dr. Jeffrey Nagel, Ph.D., HCA Deputy Agency Director of Behavioral Health Services. “One of the main sources of drug misuse is prescription pain medication that’s been taken from a friend or family member. Opioid misuse and abuse is a nationwide issue and participating in events like National Take Back Day allows for the safe disposal of these or other prescription medications.”

First Lady Biden Continues Visit On Navajo Nation
First Lady Jill Biden today will visit the Hunters Point Boarding School in St. Michaels near Window Rock. Biden, also a college professor, is slated to meet with students at the school, where remote learning continues amid the pandemic. School officials say they hope to return to in-person learning by the fall, the AP reports. Remote learning has largely been the standard on the Navajo Nation; the Tuba City Unified School District closed in-person learning opportunities earlier this month after a stay-at-home order was reissued reservation-wide. Biden today will also visit a vaccination site at the Tsehootsooi Medical Center in Fort Defiance, according to White House officials. Heavy police presence and impacted traffic can be expected today near Window Rock, the Navajo Police Department says.
