Orthopedic Surgery Center of Orange County

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is Saturday, October 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two locations in Newport Beach. Oasis Senior Center: 801 Narcissus Avenue, Corona del Mar (Main Entrance) Hoag Hospital, Sunset View Parking Lot (lower campus, first left when entering from PCH), 1 Hoag Road, Newport Beach... This event gives the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by removing potentially-dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs from their homes. Anyone with medications to dispose of can bring them to either of the designated locations for quick and easy drop-off. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked. Medicines that are languishing in your cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Our Executive Director, Gabrielle White, RN, CASC, spoke at the California Ambulatory Surgery Center (CASA) conference this week. Subject was the 23-hour stay program. OSC has been offering this program for years. Great job Gabby!

One of our amazing nurses brought a quote in today that speaks to how OSC thinks of its customers. "A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so." Mahatma Gandhi
