Inmar Intelligence Expands MMCAP Relationship with New Medical Waste Management Contract
New contract brings secure drug take-back and sharps programs to over 34,500 MMCAP facilities, helping government-run providers meet compliance requirements, reduce risk, and protect community health WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Inmar Intelligence, a leader in healthcare logistics and compliance solutions, today announced a new contract with MMCAP, a national cooperative purchasing organization that serves public-sector healthcare facilities. The agreement expands their long-standing relationship to include medical and pharmaceutical waste management services, giving members access to Inmar's full suite of secure drug disposal and sharps management programs. Across the country, public-sector healthcare organizations face growing pressure to manage pharmaceutical waste safely while navigating a complex mix of DEA, EPA, and state regulations. Many facilities, especially those with limited resources, struggle to implement secure disposal programs that prevent diversion, protect patients, and reduce environmental harm. The risks range from medication misuse to community exposure, and they are real and rising. Inmar's suite of waste management solutions offers a turnkey, cost-effective path to compliance. These services help reduce risk, simplify operations, and enable MMCAP members to take proactive steps in support of patient safety, environmental health, and responsible drug stewardship. With a proven track record and deep regulatory expertise, Inmar helps government-run and nonprofit facilities meet today's standards while preparing for tomorrow's oversight. The expanded contract introduces four key Inmar programs to MMCAP members: Consumer Drug Take-Back Receptacles (CDTB) – Secure, DEA-compliant receptacles for on-site disposal of unused or expired medications. MMCAP members, such as eligible public health clinics or correctional facilities, can install these units to support safe drug disposal for patients, reduce diversion risks, and meet regulatory expectations for community drug stewardship. Sponsored Consumer Drug Take-Back Receptacles (SCDTB) – A fully funded version of the CDTB program made possible through Inmar's manufacturer partnerships. Eligible MMCAP members in states with extended producer responsibility laws may qualify to receive and operate these drug take-back receptacles at no cost, expanding access to secure disposal without impacting budget. California Sharps (CA Sharps) Program – A compliant mail-back program that provides California-based members with safe, prepaid sharps disposal kits for community use. This helps MMCAP members meet California's specific sharps waste regulations while protecting patients and staff from needle-stick injuries and biohazard exposure. Inmar's ability to align national programs with state-level mandates helps MMCAP members avoid costly compliance gaps and expand access to essential services. In states with extended producer responsibility laws, including California, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Washington, eligible facilities may receive fully sponsored drug take-back solutions that lower costs and increase community impact. 'This agreement reflects our continued commitment to helping MMCAP members solve complex challenges with simple, scalable solutions,' said Brian Nightengale, President, Healthcare at Inmar Intelligence. 'From drug take-back to sharps disposal, our programs are designed to meet evolving regulatory needs while supporting safer, more sustainable communities. We're proud to serve as a trusted partner in helping government-run healthcare facilities strengthen both compliance and care delivery.' MMCAP is a national cooperative purchasing organization serving more than 34,500 government and nonprofit member facilities across all 50 states. The expansion of its agreement with Inmar comes at a critical moment, as regulatory scrutiny around pharmaceutical waste intensifies and healthcare organizations seek efficient, compliant solutions that improve both operational outcomes and community safety.

Daphne firefighters rescue families by boat during severe flooding, receive Smiles Behind the Shield Award
DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) — It's been more than two weeks since major flooding shut down roads in Baldwin County after heavy rain made its way to the Gulf Coast. Mobile County Sheriff's Office K-9 and sergeant educate students on internet safety, receive Smiles Behind the Shield Award A video shows three Daphne firefighters navigating a rescue boat through Spanish Fort neighborhoods during the flash flooding that trapped people in their homes earlier this month. 'We were able to get in contact with the family,' Capt. Joseph Staska said. 'It was two adults and a child, and then later on, we ended up coming in contact with a couple more individuals as well.' In all, 11 people and a dog were rescued on the Eastern Shore that night. Helping out surrounding agencies is something Daphne Fire is used to doing. 'They know what kind of materials we have, training we have, and sometimes they need us to supplement their training and expertise,' Staska said. 'So they come to us, we go to them.' Our Smiles Behind the Shield winners, Capt. Joseph Staska, engineers Grant Everhart and Tyler Harrison said the rescue boat is a fairly new piece of equipment for their department, a vital tool to help save lives on the Eastern Shore. 'It just started about three years ago, so we're learning and as we learn; we go out, and we go like to our neighboring departments,' Everhart said. 'We were called at Robertsville the other day. We provide that service. So if you have a water emergency, whether it be flood or you're in a boat accident or anything, you call and we're going to come.' 'It's awesome to be able to serve the citizens of Daphne and help them any way we can,' Harrison said. got a closer look at their fully loaded boat. 'It's a 15-foot Inmar. It's an inflatable with a rigged bottom,' Everhart said as he showed us around. It may look small, but it fits 10 people. 'We utilize this in flood water situations because we can actually take it off the trailer by hand and then we can launch it in rougher water on the causeway,' Everhart said. 'Most of the time we go out there it seems to be when it's bad weather, so this boat can take on water then drain through the hole called scuppers, so that allows us not to sink.' There's a black bag at the front of the boat that holds things like life jackets, helmets, headlamps and binoculars with an EMS bag and oxygen tank attached to it. 'It's proved worthy,' Daphne Fire Chief LeAnn Tacon said. 'We had situations where there were people needing to be rescued out on the water, and we couldn't get to them, so that's when we went to the mayor and council and said, you know, can we get a boat? And it's worked well. I mean, we've used it quite a few times.' Since March 2022, 23 people and three dogs have been rescued. Twin brothers with Prichard Fire-Rescue win over Girl Scout troop 'I'm proud of these guys, they take it seriously and train a lot with it,' Chief Tacon said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
