Generation Rx is being offered through a partnership between the Cardinal Health Foundation and The Ohio State University College of Pharmacy.

Did you know that the misuse of prescription medications is one of our country’s most pressing public health problems, with adverse drug events being a significant issue for older adults? This educational workshop will address ways to decrease the risk for adverse drug events, the safe storage and disposal of medications, as well as prescription drug misuse in our country. The educational program includes engaging activities that focus on safe medication practices, and there is an opportunity for the audience to participate in a Q&A session.
