CVS Pharmacy today announced its exclusive partnership with the American Diabetes Association for the "Partner in Healthy Living" initiative, which will help raise awareness and funding as the two organizations work together to stop diabetes.
"This collaboration with CVS Pharmacy will help us reach millions of Americans with valuable information to improve their health and management of their diabetes," American Diabetes Association VP of Corporate Alliances Jonathan Webb said. "We appreciate CVS Pharmacy's engagement and collaboration, both in stores and online, so that we can continue to reach the public in meaningful ways to prevent diabetes and to improve the lives of millions with diabetes."
CVS Pharmacy has also launched a website featuring diabetes health and nutrition information. In addition to the website, CVS Pharmacy will use the in-store radio channel to dispense diabetes information and encourage customers to be tested for diabetes at one of the more than 1,100 CVS MinuteClinics.
"We are committed to making it easier for our customers living with diabetes to find the right products and expertise to help them manage their disease," CVS Health Chief Merchant and CVS Pharmacy SVP Judy Sansone said. "CVS Pharmacy is a leading health destination with expert pharmacists and an easy to navigate diabetes management section featuring a wide assortment of products from glucose monitors and testing strips to sugar-free snacks."
