The opioid crisis is a public health emergency. The University of Houston College of Nursing and UH at Sugar Land join HCA Houston Healthcare to provide an opportunity for the community to properly dispose of their unused prescription medications anonymously - no questions asked. The “Crush the Crisis—Opioid Take Back Day” is this Saturday, Sept. 21, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and provides for the safe disposing of unused and expired medication.
