In June, Walgreens and Johns Hopkins Medicine announced plans
to open a Baltimore drugstore that aims to meet community health
needs by offering fresh groceries and an in-store clinic staffed by nurse
practitioners. It’s also more than just a drugstore – it’s a “laboratory”
for exploring new ways to deliver healthcare services. This is part of a
partnership the two companies announced in 2011 to collaborate on
research and improve health outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.
Alyssa Caricato was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
when she was four years old. For more than 15 years,
she has relied on CF Services Inc., which is now operated
by Walgreens, for its dedication and expertise in providing
medications and services to help her live an active life –
including working as a lifeguard at a local pool and
studying at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.
In December 2012, Walgreens announced an alliance
with CF Foundation to strengthen Walgreens focus
in specialty pharmacy on this disease state and
to give people living with CF greater access to
high-quality pharmacy services.
