In each of our approximately 7,000
retail stores, customers appreciate
face-to-face interaction with their
CVS pharmacist (left). CVS/pharmacy
technicians (top) play a critical role,
freeing our pharmacists to spend more
time counseling patients on adherence,
drug interactions, and opportunities
for savings. More than 500 stores now
feature MinuteClinics (bottom right),
most of which are open seven days
a week. Patients can be treated for
common ailments such as strep throat,
receive vaccinations, and also obtain
care for selected chronic conditions.
In the front of the store, shoppers enjoy
a broad selection of branded over-the-
counter medications as well as our less
expensive private-label alternatives
(right). By presenting the ExtraCare
card (bottom left) with every purchase,
customers accumulate Extra Bucks that
can be used in any of our stores just like
cash for most front-store items.
