Cabarrus County to dispose of unused and expired medications
PRESS RELEASE
Concord, N.C. From April 20 through 22, Cabarrus County seniors delivered nearly 60 pounds of unused and expired prescriptions to local LunchPlus Club sites.
The events were organized by Cabarrus County Community Paramedics to educate seniors on medication disposal and provide them with resources from EMS’ “Do the Right Thing” program, which teaches proper prescription management.
Community Paramedics and the LunchPlus Club are both programs of Cabarrus County Government.
When EMS Captain Kara Clarke ran through scenarios, she realized the County’s LunchPlus Clubs would be the best way to connect with seniors. Each weekday, local seniors receive a free meal at drive-thru sites in Concord, Midland, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Mt. Pleasant and Northwest Cabarrus. The format was convenient, familiar and allowed for COVID-19 safety.
