ShopRite teams up with Paramount Rx on glucose screenings

CARY, N.C. -- ShopRite is joining forces with prescription benefits manager Paramount Rx this November for National Diabetes Awareness Month, hosting free blood glucose screenings at select ShopRite locations.

ShopRite’s registered dietitians will assist with glucose-level tests and share expert tips with residents to help prevent and treat the disease.

The screenings made possible by ShopRite and Paramount Rx are designed to help individuals and families identify diabetes risk factors, while also mitigating the potential medical expenses of diabetes-related healthcare.

“ShopRite is committed to improving total health and wellness,” said Natalie Menza, Manager of Health and Wellness at ShopRite. “Community events like these give us the unique opportunity to raise awareness and help our customers make informed, educated lifestyle choices when it comes to their preventing and treating diseases such as diabetes.”

ShopRite provides a full suite of complimentary health and wellness offerings to its customers, including a full range of better-for-you products, flu shots, blood pressure monitoring stations, and (in many locations), dedicated in-store registered dietitians who are on-hand to assist customers with their nutritional needs via personal consultations, store tours, educational services, group classes and more.
