Bottled Water Drive For Middletown First Responders

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — For the sixth year in a row, IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care hosted their bottled water drive to benefit first responders.

This year, the locally-owned physician practice group collected over 500 cases of bottled water. In addition to bottled water, this year, IMA collected granola bars that will be used by first responders to stay fueled during an emergency.

“With temperatures soaring this summer, our bottled water drive is helping our local first responders stay hydrated during an emergency. We are always grateful that our patients are so supportive of this drive. It is such a simple way to help our local volunteer fire departments and first aid squads,” said IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care and Family Practice of Middletown physician Dr. Roger Thompson.

The annual drive has turned into a community event where Monmouth County residents and local businesses drop off water and granola bars to IMA’s eight primary care practices and two urgent care centers. Local first responders are seeing a surge in emergency calls and the water and granola bars help them stay hydrated and fueled during an emergency.
