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. 

Partners

  • Law Enforcement
  • Pharmacies

What Works

Due to COVID-19, initiation of the new strategy was not put in place. No data was gathered on what works when implementing this strategy.
