“The grocery store is where many important decisions are made in terms of health.”

Integrating nutrition, pharmacy, and digital support to address type 2 diabetes
Albertsons Companies sits at the center of everyday life. Multiple times a week, families visit grocery stores to make choices that directly influence long-term health. Recognizing this, Albertsons has embedded “Food is Medicine” into its broader health and well-being strategy, pairing nutrition education, dietitian access, pharmacy services, and digital tools to support sustainable behavior change.
Through culturally relevant grocery bundles and ready-to-heat meals designed by registered dietitians, the program helps people living with type 2 diabetes make practical food choices that support balanced blood sugar. The approach emphasizes affordability, familiarity, and ease—meeting individuals where they are, with their kitchens and their personal preferences.
Long-term support extends beyond the store through the Sincerely Health platform, which connects grocery purchases, medication management, dietitian counseling, and personalized health goals in one place. By integrating nutrition, pharmacy, and behavioral nudges, Albertsons is helping community members take ownership of their health journey, demonstrating how everyday food environments can play a meaningful role in chronic disease prevention and management at scale.
