Lincoln â If youâve got leftover prescription medications, itâs important to keep them out of the hands of those for whom they are not prescribed. Nebraska pharmacies and law enforcement agencies have a solution for you, whether thatâs dropping off your unwanted medications at your local pharmacy any day with the Nebraska MEDS program, or participating in the Drug Enforcement Agencyâs (DEA) twice-yearly large-scale take-back events.
DEAâs next formal take-back day is Saturday, April 24. Participating agencies in Nebraska are listed below. But many Nebraska pharmacies offer take-back days every day that their doors are open. A partial list is below, and additional locations can be found on the Nebraska MEDS Coalitionâs website, https://www.nebraskameds.org. Nebrask

COVID-19 pandemic can be used as a prompt for discussing older adults wishes for end-of-life care
As the toll of COVID-19 continues to climb, newly released poll data suggest an opportunity to use the pandemic as a prompt for discussing and documenting older adults wishes for their care, if they get seriously ill or injured for any reason.
Overall, 59% of the 50- to 80-year-olds polled said they had had a conversation with loved ones about their preferences in case they became severely ill. That percentage was even higher 70% among those over age 65. Just 7% of all older adults polled said COVID-19 had motivated them to have such a conversations.
