CVS Health’s Post

Adaptable, agile, and eager to collaborate — All qualities of the beloved animal, the penguin, and of a purpose-driven colleague. 👇 👋 Say hello to our penguin-loving colleague Anna Peris, a Senior Clinical Pharmacist with CVS Caremark and proud mother of two. 📍 Anna started her career with Eckerd Health Services in 2002 and, after an acquisition, landed on #TeamCVS with a passion to create simplicity and better health outcomes for our members. 🐧 Adaptable to her environment and committed to being a team player, just like a penguin, Anna uses her clinical experience to improve efficiencies and bring our large-scale initiatives to life. Cheers to Anna, and all our Team CVS colleagues who rise to the challenge to make a difference in the lives of our consumers!

Individuals of all abilities and backgrounds deserve to be empowered to reach their full potential — including those with a #Disability. See how #TeamCVS is making this a reality ➡️ 👋 Meet CVS Pharmacy store associate Kevin Kan – The face and heart of one of our busy and bustling New York City stores, whose friendly attitude and willingness to help goes a long way to make our customers feel welcome. 🔍 Kevin was one of the first attendees of our Workforce Initiatives Abilities training program in New York City in 2014, which offers #SkillDevelopment and immersion opportunities to help individuals of all abilities overcome barriers to employment. ❤️ Ten years later, Kevin is thriving in his role as a store associate, where he brings his heart – and a smile – to the job every day. This #DisabilityPrideMonth, and all year-round, we’re thankful for colleagues like Kevin!

CVS Pharmacy has been named to Morning Consult’s Most Trusted Brands report, ranking in the top five most trusted brands for #GenZ adults. 🤝 Our commitment to building #Trust in the communities we serve enables us to deliver care like no one else can. 💡 Through the power of personalization, we're able to better meet our consumers where and when they need us in their health care journey. Congratulations to the #TeamCVS colleagues who make it all possible!

Happy Fourth of July from #TeamCVS! We wish you and your family and friends a fun and healthy day of celebration. 🎇

One of the best ways to foster our #OneTeam mentality? By collaborating across our business units – like how our Oak Street Health and supply chain teams recently met to discuss the omnichannel health care experience we’re building for consumers. 🤝  

For many #Military members, transitioning into the civilian workforce can be daunting. That’s why #TeamCVS member and retired UH-60 Helicopter Crew Chief Rafael Lopez II is on another kind of mission – to help military personnel find meaningful employment at companies like CVS Health. See how ⬇️   🏅 Skillbridge, through the United States Department of Defense, allows service men and women to train in a position for 12 weeks at companies like CVS Health before they retire from service.   🧠 Through the program, and with the support of colleagues like Rafael, service members can transfer the skills they acquired in the Armed Forces to a fulfilling career.   👩 Meet Roxanne Lyons, a 22-year Air Force veteran and SkillBridge graduate, who joined our Enterprise Resilience team last year and now helps monitor for hazards that could impact colleagues, assets and business operations.    We’re thankful for our colleagues who are committed to building bridges that benefit our amazing military men and women. Thank you, Rafael and Roxanne, for your service to our country and to the communities we serve!   Read more: https://cvs.co/4eEHt72 

“CVS Health is really intentional about cultivating our brand of trust,” shares Dr. Michelle Gourdine, Chief Medical Officer for CVS Caremark. But why is trust in health care so vital? 💡 When people feel comfortable leaning on their providers for support, they’re more likely to stick to their medication schedule and receive regular check-ups and screenings. 🏡, And with 85% of people living within 10 miles of a CVS Pharmacy® location, the role of our pharmacists as this true partner in patient care is greater than ever before. Speaking with Fortune, Dr. Gourdine explores why trust is foundational and how CVS Health is cultivating trust for our consumers. Watch more in the video below. ⬇️

A stable and meaningful #Career can help people prioritize their health, which is why we're investing in programs that eliminate barriers to #Employment and empower community members, like Romeo Spears. ⤵️   🎉 This month, we announced the opening of two new Workforce Innovation and Talent Centers (WITCs) and one Community Resource Center in Oklahoma City, OK alongside Oklahoma Department of Human Services and Work Ready Oklahoma.   🧩 Combining workforce training programs and critical health resources, our centers aim to support employment opportunities and improved health outcomes across the country.   ❤️ Romeo, an Oklahoma City native, attended a Work Ready Oklahoma session and through our program is now working as a pharmacy technician at a local CVS Pharmacy, supporting his community directly with their health and well-being. Thank you, Romeo!   Learn more about our new centers: https://lnkd.in/e9HfibfP

Empowering our LGBTQ+ colleagues through a culture of inclusivity and belonging is what we're all about — and proudly showing up in our communities that reflect the full spectrum of diversity during events like #PrideMonth celebrations is how we make it happen! 🏳️🌈   Throughout the month, #TeamCVS colleagues across the country joined forces to celebrate #Pride and empower one another at events hosted in our own backyards, including near our offices in Middletown, CT, Providence, RI and New York City.    Our mission has always been to champion people of all backgrounds and truly represent the diverse communities that we serve nationwide. Happy Pride! 🌈❤️
