Last Saturday’s Prescription Drug Take-Back Day netted more than one-and-a-half tons of unused prescription drugs in Kansas alone. As Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson reports, the program is aimed at keeping those drugs from ending up in the hands of those who would abuse them.
Bryan Thompson has been KPR's Health Reporter since 2000. He's a lifelong Kansan, and a graduate of Wichita State University. He's been involved in radio news longer than he'd care to admit, serving as news director at stations in El Dorado, Liberal, and Salina before joining KPR. He and his wife, Cindy, are the parents of six outstanding children--one of whom now looks down on them from above. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys music and sports.
