CALIFORNIA has opened its
first drug donation pharmacy
which aims to prevent unused
medications going to waste by
recycling them for free to those in
need.
Georgia initiated the program in

The Better Health pharmacy
is non-profit with medications
donated, mostly by nursing homes.
“We are delighted and grateful
to have this beautiful space that
we may better serve the people in
our community who need these
medications,” Jennefer Yoon, the
pharmacy’s assistant director, said
in a statement.
The pharmacy is licensed by
the California Board of Pharmacy,
and all donated medications are
inspected by on-site pharmacists
handing out the medications.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 17 Feb 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 17 Feb 16
