Do you have unused, unexpired medications at home?
Better
Health collaborates with the Cumberland County Medication Access Program
(CCMAP),
located
at the new Cumberland County Public Health Center, at 1235 Ramsey St. near
the MLK Freeway intersection.
The pharmacy is just to the right as you enter.
They
can accept sealed, tamper-resistant, unexpired medications which
will then be dispensed to their uninsured patients.
They
cannot accept loose pills in the unsealed, brown plastic bottles
often dispensed at retail pharmacies
or medications requirimg refrigeration.
For loose or open meds, the Fayetteville Police Department headquarters on Hay St. has a drop box in the lobby.
DO NOT FLUSH MEDICATIONS DOWN THE TOILET!
Do you have unneeded medical equipment, or unexpired
diabetes testing strips or liquid nutrition products?
Better Health accepts serviceable equipment and supplies for re-distribution to our clients through our
Medical Equipment Loan or Direct Aid Programs.
We accept these donations during our business hours, 8 AM-12 noon and 1-4 PM Monday-Friday.
Please bring perishable products to us before they expire!
Thank you to all who have made these programs work by recycling to a good cause!
