The fall edition of the National Drug Tack Back Event is this Saturday.
Marietta Hagan of Cox Health in Branson works with the coalition that coordinates the event in Stone and Taney Counties. During an interview this week on KRZK's "Ozarks Now" program, Hagan says that 53% of misused prescription medication comes from the home whether it is unused medications or medication that is not safely stored.
