Village Medical physicians and Walgreens pharmacy team members work together to provide expert care for chronic conditions, as well as everyday illnesses and injuries. Physicians and pharmacists collaborate closely to fill prescriptions immediately following medical visits, often at the same location if they choose to do so, and ensure patients have ongoing access to care and medical expertise.
“At Walgreens, we know how important local and accessible healthcare is to help our communities get and stay healthy,” said Steve Pashko R.Ph., Walgreens regional healthcare director, New England. “Walgreens and VillageMD are working together to make it easier for our communities to access high-quality, coordinated primary care and pharmacy services.”
In 2019, 23 percent of New Hampshire adults under age 65 were considered at high risk of experiencing serious health outcomes if infected with COVID-19 because of underlying chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes.2 And, in 2018, approximately 77,000 New Hampshire residents lacked access to healthcare coverage – bringing the need for accessible and affordable care to the forefront.3
