Georgia Primary & Urgent Care, an affiliate of Rockdale Medical Center, donated 20 sharps containers to nurses at Newton County schools. According to Cheryl Raper, practice manager, the containers are used to dispose of needles and other biohazard materials.

“We know that schools have limited funds,” Raper said. “This is our way of helping to build community relationships and support the students and the schools in Newton County.”
