Lubbock, TX - United Supermarkets has entered into a public-private partnership with Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences. The partnership has been created with the hopes of cultivating a prototype to advance primary cancer prevention and help reduce the risk for cancer recurrence within rural communities. Funding is provided by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas and runs through February 2013. Participants will be introduced to elements that include cancer risk and prevention education, monitoring, cancer-preventing foods and demonstrations, all conducted at United locations and local venues. Tyra M. Carter, Corporate Dietitian for United Supermarkets states, "United Supermarkets is very excited to be part of this important research study. We strive to make a positive impact on our guests’ lives every day and, through this partnership with the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, we will be actively working to reduce cancer risks and change behaviors in our very own community.” <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">www.unitedtexas.com<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
