CVS Health
Vendor/Supplier/Insurer, Woonsocket , RI
CVS Health spans multiple healthcare sectors through its health insurer Aetna, CVS Pharmacy and pharmacy benefit manager CVS Caremark, among other units.
Under board and executive leadership, CVS Health has:
- Launched a new Clinical Trial Services business to improve representation of diverse patients, given that individuals from diverse communities are highly underrepresented in clinical research.
- Established the Health Zones strategy focused on six key areas—housing, access to food, transportation, education, workforce training, and healthcare access. The program ties together community partnerships and CVS Health’s commercial business assets in an integrated approach to support underserved communities by addressing the key social determinants of health.
- Expanded the reach of Project Health, which has helped to increase access to vital health services in communities with large diverse and under- or uninsured populations.
