Bayshore Pharmacy, a cornerstone of community wellness in Monmouth County for over 60 years has officially received Medicare approval to provide Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES), Pharmacist and owner Richard P Stryker, RPh announced this week. This milestone achievement makes Bayshore Pharmacy a premier local destination for comprehensive, accredited diabetes care.
The DSMES program is an evidence-based standard of care designed to empower individuals living with diabetes. By earning Medicare approval, Bayshore Pharmacy can now offer these vital services—often at no out-of-pocket cost to Medicare beneficiaries— locally, in the heart of the Atlantic Highlands community.
“The wait is finally over,” said Stryker. “We are incredibly excited to bring this level of specialized education to our neighbors. Managing diabetes is about more than just a prescription; it’s about providing the tools, technology, and community support necessary for our patients to thrive and maintain their vitality.”
The DSMES program at Bayshore Pharmacy focuses on practical, real-world applications, including:
Technological Mastery: Hands-on training with glucometers and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems;
Clinical Insight: In-depth education on managing blood sugar levels and understanding the “why” behind the numbers;
Lifestyle Integration: Guidance on nutrition and functional movement tailored to the needs of the local community, and Sustained Support: A collaborative environment that connects patients with professional educators and peers.
As a locally owned and second-generation family business, Bayshore Pharmacy’s transition into an accredited DSMES provider reinforces its commitment to proactive community health. This program bridges the gap between the doctor’s office and daily life, ensuring that Monmouth County residents have accessible, high-quality resources to prevent complications and improve their quality of life.
The Pharmacy is currently forming its inaugural DSMES classes. Due to high demand, a priority registration list has been established for those eager to begin their journey toward better health. For more information on the program or to join the priority list, visit www.bayshorepharmacy.com or call (732) 291-2900.
