The Little Clinic head adds pharmacy president to role at Kroger
CINCINNATI, Ohio — Kroger has expanded the role of The Little Clinic president Colleen Lindholz, naming her president of its pharmacy division Monday. Lindholz, who has led The Little Clinic since 2015, takes over pharmacy duties from Philecia Avery, who Kroger said resigned the company earlier this month to pursue other interests.
“Colleen is passionate about helping people live healthier lives,” Kroger SVP merchandising Robert Clark said. “Colleen's leadership will help bring our pharmacy and The Little Clinic teams together to advance our mission to simplify healthcare and create solutions that combine health, wellness and nutrition for our customers.”
Lindholz has been with Kroger since 1995, when she started as a pharmacy intern in the Cincinnati/Dayton division. Since then she held various leadership roles in pharmacy and human resources before being named director of pharmacy sales and marketing at the Kroger general office in 2013, a role she served in until she took over her role leading The Little Clinic.
“By bringing together these two closely related teams, pharmacy and The Little Clinic will share common areas of expertise, support and learn from each other, and develop centers of excellence in our health and wellness organization,” Clark said. “This will allow for greater collaboration and give us the flexibility to meet the needs of our customers and associates today and in the future.”
