"Crush the Crisis" Opioid Take Back Day

Description

Cartersville Medical Center is committed to improving more lives in more ways. That is why we are proud to partner with Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force in support of the DEA’s (Drug Enforcement Agency) national take back day, to help combat the misuse of opioids. Current figures support the claim that more people die from complications related to opioid misuse and opioid disorder than all other drugs combined.
