Redmond Regional Medical Center is again partnering with the City of Rome and the Coosa River Basin Initiative to drive the `Clean Rivers for Rome` program to provide a drop-off location for the proper disposal of unused, expired prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. The event will be held on April 27, from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. outside of Redmond Regional Medical Center.

`Proper and timely disposal of medication is extremely important,` says Dustin Smith, Pharmacy Director at Redmond. `Not only is proper disposal an environment issue, keeping unneeded medications around the home is also dangerous, especially in situations where children could access them.`
