</span><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Hi Sierra,<br>
<br>
I am a pharmacist in Northeast Ohio who is trying to find out
some information as to who I might be able to contact as to setting up a site
for patients to bring their unused/expired pharmaceuticals. Through my
searching. Someone forwarded me the product stewardship site.<br>
<br>
Can you help me in telling me if you know of any companies
that are presently working in Ohio or perhaps would want to work in Ohio to
establish a medicine return program at my pharmacy?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time.<br>
<br>
