Title: Pharmacy Technician
Organization: Dosher Memorial Hospital
What a nominator said: “Fifteen years ago, Nin Patel, a pharmacy tech at Dosher Hospital, wanted to find a way to help mitigate Brunswick County’s growing opioid crisis by getting dangerous and addictive drugs out of circulation. Nin was also aware of the negative environmental impact of careless drug disposal to water systems or potential harm to pets and wildlife. Nin’s desire to keep drugs out of the wrong hands and to dispose of them safely compelled her to team up with the narcotics unit of the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office to start Operation Medicine Cabinet, a semi-annual drug take-back event at Dosher Memorial Hospital.
“This drive-through event makes it easy for community members to dispose of unwanted medications without having to leave their vehicles, and they can participate in a safe environment, under the watch of the Brunswick County Sheriff’s [Office] as well as the Southport Police Department … The Sheriff’s Department helps Dosher staff members sort pills and liquids” before they are incinderated.
