HARNEY COUNTY-In honor of National Drug Take Back Day — which will be observed Saturday, April 27 — Harney District Hospital invites you to safely dispose of unused or expired medications in our Medsafe receptacle. Open 24/7, our Medsafe receptacle can be found near the hospital’s emergency entrance.

Get a free tote bag and pill box when you safely dispose of your medications at Harney District Hospital the week of April 22-27 (while supplies last).

* Please note that Medsafe receptacles are for unused and/or expired narcotics and non-controlled and over-the-counter medications. Please DO NOT include illegal drugs, containers with more than 4 ounces of liquid, sharps containers, needles, syringes, batteries, aerosol spray cans, aerosol inhalers, garbage, medical devices, chemicals, or any hazardous materials.
