MAYO CLINIC RADIO
On the next Mayo Clinic Radio, Saturday, October 18 at 9 a.m. CT, the topic is Men's Health. Two physicians from the new Mayo Clinic Men's Health Program in Arizona will be here to discuss endocrine issues like diabetes and thyroid health. Other topics will include low testosterone and how prostate and sexual health relate to cardiovascular health. Urologist Jason Jameson, M.D., and cardiologist David Simper, M.D., will join us. Hope you do, too!
Myth or Fact: Men experience their own type of menopause.

Oh how I wish they would host this event in Jacksonville! I have medication that I would like to dispose of. I will not "flush" it since it goes into the water supply and won't place it in garbage collection, so I have a drawer with it. Hope Mayo Clinic will consider letting FL have a drop off event.

If you can't make these events, as of November 2013 there is a 24/7 drop box in the Government Center building for medication disposal. Specifically it is located inside the doors at the Adult Detention Center. http://rochester.kaaltv.com/news/news/138682-olmsted-county-creates-permanent-drug-drop-location The article also states that some nearby counties (specifically it mentions Mower and Freeborn) also have drop boxes in their law enforcement centers.
