Operation Medicine Cabinet: Prescription Drug Take Back Day has been occurring bi-annually since 2011. CAPA coalition members Officer John Chrisopulos of the Brecksville Police Department, Angela Ortenzi RPh, Walgreens Pharmacy Manager, and members of the high school HUDDLE Club partnered with the Brecksville and Broadview Heights CERT Team to make the 2016-2017 bi-annual collection processes a huge success. Over 400 total cars dropped off unused, unwanted and expired medicine for the 2016-2017 events totaling 1020.4 pounds of medicines.  This is the largest amount that our site has ever collected.

Our group met with Senator Patton and State Representatives Marlene Anielski to discuss our local prevention initiatives. The students highlighted the youth – led education they are doing in the Brecksville-Broadview High elementary, middle and high school; and the community-based programming to bring awareness about the dangers of prescription drug use and proper disposal
