Med Take Back Day and Safe Storage Event

While medicines help treat disease, manage chronic conditions, and improve health – unused and expired prescription medications pose a public safety concern. Opioids are now one of the leading causes of injury-related deaths in Washington State. 75 percent of opioid misuse starts with people using medication that wasn’t prescribed for them—usually taken from a friend or family member, often without their knowledge.

On Saturday, April 30th, from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM at 4th Street and Peabody, in the parking lot behind the Clallam County building, the Port Angeles Health Youth Coalition in partnership with the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office will be providing Port Angeles residents with a combination Lockbag to take home at no cost, while supplies last.

Virtual Town Hall with Dr. Kilmer

Attend Virtual Town Hall with Jason Kilmer, Ph.D. "An Ounce of Prevention Has Never Weighed More: The Value of Addressing Youth Alcohol and Other Drug Use"
