“ Ever since we turned our daughter’s care over to you all, our
quality of life has never been better,” writes a mother to her
Coram team. Coram’s ability to provide infusion services in
the home has made all the difference for this family, allowing
treatment to suit their daughter’s lifestyle instead of the other
way around. “The rest of our family has been liberated, too. No
more days spent at the clinic waiting. No more putting her sisters
on hold while she gets her care. You provide much more than
medical care. You contribute immeasurably to the quality of life
of your patients and all the others who populate their lives!Ӡ

CVS Health
Putting care within easy reach. We are making it easier for patients to
obtain their medications and the care they need. And that will help reduce the $300 billion in avoidable
costs due to medication non-adherence the U.S. health care system faces each year. For example,
our infusion services through Coram enable us to provide patients with more convenient, low-cost
alternatives to hospital infusions, whether at the physician’s office, at one of our national network of retail
infusion sites, or even the patient’s home. With the number of CVS/minuteclinic locations on the rise,
we’re also making it easier for patients with acute illnesses and certain chronic conditions to receive
care. Maintenance Choice®
, one of the many integrated solutions that only CVS Health offers, gives
CVS/caremark plan members the option of receiving 90-day maintenance prescriptions in the way that
suits them best—through our mail order pharmacies or at any of our CVS/pharmacy locations. Specialty
Connect™ provides a similar in-store pickup option for CVS/specialty patients while our expert specialty
pharmacists provide disease state-specific counseling.
