Sessions to be held on November 8th in Fruitland and November 19th in Berlin

Fruitland – Apple Discount Drugs, a locally owned Health Mart pharmacy, is pleased to announce plans for a Diabetes Resource Day in recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month – November. 

“Being in the healthcare profession, we care about the health and well-being of the people in our community,” said John Motsko, Apple Certified Diabetes Educator®. “With the rate of people living with diabetes on the Shore almost doubling the national rate, we know there is a need for specialized diabetes services and counseling. Not only will we host this Diabetes workshop this coming month, but we provide one-on-one and group counseling sessions year round.”
