A moment that truly stood out during our recent Drug and Sharps Take Back Day came during an interaction with a woman who had recently lost her father. She became emotional as she shared her gratitude for having a safe place to bring in his remaining medications. Her story captured the heart of why this event matters, helping families find peace of mind while keeping our community safe.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of staff at Penn Medicine Chester County Hospital and the Chester County Sheriff’s Office, the event was an overwhelming success. In fact, the medication box filled so quickly that it had to be taken back early, and we even filled three sharps containers by the end of the day.
