Have You Checked Your Medicine Cabinet Lately?

Many homes contain several medications, but the problem is, some of them may be outdated. We often forget to check the expiration date on our medications. Go through your medicine cabinet and throw away all of the expired medications. If drugs are kept for long periods of time they lose their potency. In some instances, the chemical make-up can be changed making the medicine toxic.
 
Health Information: Project Care in Hibbing is a community-driven effort to provide free health screening to those who lack insurance, transportation, a relationship with a physician, or have communication/ cultural barriers that prevent them from seeing a doctor.   Project Care is available at the Hibbing Salvation Army on the first Tuesday of the month from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
