Description

HCA Florida Lake City Hospital is committed to making our communities safer and healthier. In an effort to raise awareness of the dangers of prescription drug misuse and the importance of safe disposal, we’re joining HCA Healthcare hospitals across the nation for our sixth annual Crush the Crisis Prescription Drug Take Back Day. 

The event, which coincides with the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, offers the community an opportunity to safely and anonymously dispose of medications that may be left over from previous procedures or other medical visits. 

In 2023, HCA Healthcare joined local law enforcement at 132 collection sites across 15 states to collect and properly dispose of more than 13,000 pounds of unused or expired medications – the equivalent of an estimated 9 million doses. Positively impacting our community takes teamwork. 

Help us #CrushTheCrisis on Saturday, October 26, 2024, by safely and anonymously dropping off your medications at HCA Florida Lake City Hospital's main entrance from 9a.m. to 1p.m. For more information, visit https://hcahealthcare.com/campaigns/crush-the-crisis.

Follow event signs to the drive-thru medication drop-off site located at the main entrance.
