IMA Urgent Care Centers Collecting Bottled Water For Firefighters

HAZLET, NJ — In the long hot days of summer, volunteer fire departments all along the Bayshore are in need of bottled water.

To that end, IMA Urgent Care Centers will be collecting cases of bottled water to benefit local fire departments. The bottled water drive will run from Monday, July 9 through Friday, July 13.

"Temperatures can soar while fighting a fire or rescue attempt," said one of the IMA Urgent Care doctors on staff. "By providing bottled water, we can ensure fire fighters stay hydrated during an emergency."

IMA Urgent Care Centers are asking the public to drop off unopened cases of water to any one of their three urgent care centers located in Middletown, Shrewsbury and Hazlet:

IMA Urgent Care Shrewsbury, 30 Shrewsbury Plaza, Shrewsbury
IMA Urgent Care Middletown, 363 Route 36, Port Monmouth, NJ
IMA Urgent Care/Hazlet Family Care, 3253 Route 35, Hazlet, NJ

IMA Urgent Care and Primary Care has three urgent care centers and seven primary care offices located in eastern Monmouth County. IMA opened the area’s first medical walk-in clinic in Shrewsbury over 20 years ago and has since opened two additional walk-in clinics in Port Monmouth and Hazlet. Additionally, IMA operates a cardiology and diagnostics center which is located in Shrewsbury. IMA is owned and operated by local doctors.
