Keeping in touch with the students that work for us is a priority at SUPERVALU Pharmacies. Students have a chance to meet with our recruiters and Pharmacy District Managers at a variety of campus events through out the school year. In addition, we use e-mail communication as a way to keep students informed and in touch with the company. Below are just a few examples of the communications we send out to our students.

OTC STOP SMOKING PRODUCTS
Over 430,000 people die every year in the United States due to smoking-related illnesses. It is a direct cause of almost 90% of lung cancer cases and most cases of chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking-related morbidity and mortality, however, is highly preventable. Pharmacists are in a unique position in the community to educate patients on the benefits of smoking cessation and to offer counseling to determine the most effective over-the-counter medications applicable to each case.

SOLUTIONS FOR WINTER SKIN
Are you suffering from dry, itchy skin that seems to be prevalent this time of year? If so, you are not alone. Freezing temperatures and heating systems used in homes and buildings are especially brutal on the skin. Throughout the beginning of history, itching, also known as pruritis, has been one of the most common symptoms afflicting the largest organ of our body: our skin. The itching sensation leads to the desire to scratch, which, if this cycle continues, can not only be uncomfortable and frustrating, but at times can lead to redness, scaling, and even infections.
