CVS

The pharmacy chains were sued for allegedly failing to create legally mandated monitoring systems to detect illegitimate opioid prescriptions being filled.

The acquisition ranks among the biggest for CVS as it has broadened its healthcare footprint.

Opioid companies agreed to pay more than $32 billion to help cover costs related to opioid addiction, which has killed an estimated 500,000 Americans over two decades.

“We are moving toward being a much more consumer-centric health-services, health-solutions company meeting the needs of consumers where they want to be met,” says CVS CEO Karen Lynch.

The pandemic may have irreversibly changed hiring, but it hasn’t slowed it down.

Women, working mothers and caregivers are buckling under the pressures of home and work responsibilities during COVID-19.

The new service provides virtual and in-person care.

CVS has evolved from a pharmacy chain into a health conglomerate that sells insurance coverage, administers drug-benefit plans and offers care, including COVID-19 testing.

The pharmacy and retail giant partnered with the weight loss app Naturally Slim.

Both employer clients and CVS employees will have access to an app that helps people manage their anxiety and stress.
