Story Behind the Curve
Prior to the 2019 Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), Lincoln County had four sites in which medication drop boxes were located. They are:
- Lincoln County Sheriff's Office
- Lincolnton Police Department
- Sentry Drug Center at 2622 E. Main St, Lincolnton, NC 28092
- Howard's Creek Fire Department
The strategy from the CHIP was to increase the number of sites within the county to make medication drop boxes more accessible. Due to COVID-19, no other sites were added.
