ProCare already holds a leading position in
the $14 billion specialty pharmacy industry with
a number of exclusive contracts for specialty
pharmacy mail order business. ProCare has
contracts with United Healthcare, PharmaCare
and Merck-Medco that together provide exclusive
access to the specialty pharmacy needs of nearly
70 million members or 25 percent of the U.S.
population. The specialty pharmacy market
is highly fragmented and served largely by
independents, and we believe it is ripe for
consolidation.
Community Solutions
Demonstrating its caring commitment to good
health, CVS provides and supports a number of
community programs that seek to nurture healthy
life skills and to create opportunities to succeed.
The national partnership with Reach Out and
Read (ROR) is an example of how we provide
community services that promote better health
and enable a more fulfilling life. ROR is a child
literacy program that supplies age-appropriate
books to children at their pediatric well visits.
CVS Health SmartsSM is another example. By
supporting Healthy Families DC, CVS Health
Smarts is offering new and expectant parents
in the Washington, D.C. area support and
information that promote child health, safety
and learning readiness.
The CVS Innovation Grants Program works
with elementary and secondary public schools
to re-examine teaching approaches and explore
innovative ways to help children learn. The
program provides multiyear financial grants, on-
site technical assistance, conferences and other
opportunities for educators to share experiences
with their colleagues. Other initiatives include
support for heart disease and hypertension
research, neighborhood projects, community
sponsorships, United Way agencies and other
local and national programs of every size and
description.
CVS provides and supports a number of programs that seek to nurture healthy life skills.
“Care that touches everyone...one at a time” extends to our commitment
to the community. CVS invests in health and education programs in
our neighborhoods, providing resources, volunteers and financial support.
