Middletown Community Donates More Than $10K In School Supplies

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — This September, patients at IMA Urgent Care in the Bayshore donated more than $10,000 in back-to-school supplies to benefit students at four schools in the Middletown area.

This year, IMA Urgent Care & Primary Care collected new/unused school supplies for students who attend:

• Ocean Avenue Elementary School
• New Monmouth Elementary School
• Bayview Elementary
• Joseph C. Caruso Elementary School in Keansburg

Thanks to the generosity of patients and staff, IMA helped families bridge the gap between what families can afford for back-to-school. It’s estimated that in 2021 nationwide, families will spend more than $800 on back-to-school supplies.

“IMA is grateful that our patients and staff are so generous," said IMA President Dr. Roger Thompson. “This year, more than ever, our back-to-school drive is helping to make an impact on local students ability to start the year off with the right supplies.”

IMA Urgent Care and Primary Care has been caring for Monmouth County for over 25 years and consists of two urgent care centers and seven primary care offices. IMA is owned and operated by local physicians who live and practice in Monmouth County.
