When my Mother was entering the Medicare age I started researching and was quickly overwhelmed. Kroger's pharmacist Roz pointed us in the right direction ->Senior PharmAssist! Free Medicare insurance counseling by willing to assist staff and they have helped us for 4 years now! Marilyn Disco - Senior PharmAssist Pharmacist is AMAZING! Rhonda and Katie - Amazing!!
