Hill drug take-back
In conjunction with Davis County, the 75th Medical Support Squadron will host the third annual Medication Take Back Event at the Base Exchange and Commissary from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 28. Unused over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and prescription medications can be brought to those locations in order to facilitate their safe disposal.
It's helpful, but not necessary, that medications are in their original containers. All medications are destroyed through incineration.
I-25 ... I-25 ... BINGO!
On Dec. 17, the 75th Medical Support Squadron volunteered at the George E. Wahlen Veterans Home in Ogden by participating in its weekly bingo game.
Squadron members set up the room, escorted the participants to their seats and helped them with their boards. All 25 volunteers, including the retirees and extended family members, were impacted by the personal stories that were told that day and were honored they had the opportunity to visit with veterans of previous wars, including World War II.
It was commonly agreed that the afternoon went by too quickly.
