"Drugs Kill Dreams" Billboard - The ACMH Hospital Foundation erected a billboard on Rte 28 North near the Pittsburgh Mills Mall to advertise the Drugs Kill Dreams slogan on May 17, 2007.  The toll free ARC Manor phone number is publicized on it for those who need help with treatment.

We are proud to aid in the effort of decreasing drug addiction.  The billboard is part of a drug awareness campaign that includes the Prescription Pain Reliever Alert information card created by J Gary DeComo, Magisterial District Judge.  This card has information about narcotics abuse and what the patient can do to help prevent it.   It is being placed in pharmaceutical bags along with each narcotics prescription.
