1. 1

   Medication Labeling and Storage, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F761 in June 2024 and April 2026. This citation covers how drugs are labeled and kept locked, including controlled drugs. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
