In observance of American Heart Month, Winn-Dixie (NASDAQ: WINN)
encourages you to take control of your cardiovascular health by
visiting your neighborhood in-store pharmacy.
Through proactive management, individuals can decrease their
risk for developing coronary heart disease, the leading cause of
death among men and women in America according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Each Winn-Dixie pharmacy offers guests free cholesterol
screenings. Most stores are equipped with blood pressure machines.
Your Winn-Dixie pharmacist recommends checking your blood pressure
at least once a month. And, this month, Winn-Dixie is partnering
with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to offer guests
a Free Treating High Cholesterol guide available in English and
Spanish.
“As part of the healthcare team, your Winn-Dixie pharmacist
plays a significant role in the management and prevention of
cardiovascular disease,” said John Fegan, Winn-Dixie’s vice
president of pharmacy. “With pharmacies in a majority of our
stores, Winn-Dixie is distinctively positioned to offer guests
expert consultation, disease prevention information and medications
alongside an abundant selection of heart healthy meal and dietary
solutions.”
Starting the day in a healthy and affordable way is easy when
you shop Winn-Dixie. This month guests can take advantage of
special promotions near the pharmacy, including an exclusive 2 for
$4 deal offered by Quaker Oats Oatmeal (18oz.), a heart-healthy
option research shows may reduce cholesterol.
Winn-Dixie also has a downloadable pharmacy app available as a
free download through Apple Inc.'s iTunes, the Android Market,
Blackberry App World or through links on Winn-Dixie's website at
https://m.winndixierx.com/help/. The Winn-Dixie Pharmacy app makes
it effortless for guests to view and reorder prescriptions, receive
alerts when a prescription is ready and set reminders to take
medications.
