WOONSOCKET, R.I. - Oregon, a new market for CVS Health, is the latest market where Target pharmacies have been successfully transitioned to CVS Health, the Rhode Island pharmacy operator announced Wednesday. The new CVS pharmacies, located in several metropolitan areas, including Portland, Eugene and Medford, are being operated through a store-within-a-store format.
"We're excited to introduce our integrated pharmacy services and health care expertise to Target guests in Oregon," stated Tony Caskey, area VP for CVS Pharmacy. "Our pharmacy care and clinic offerings, along with our innovative digital tools, will offer consumers expanded wellness options and increased access to care. We look forward to welcoming Target guests as our pharmacy patients."
The addition of 18 rebranded CVS Pharmacy in Target locations marks the company's first presence in the state and is introducing Target guests to its suite of innovative pharmacy care services.
CVS Pharmacy is committed to giving back to the communities where its colleagues live and work. The company has extended that commitment to Oregon with a $50,000 donation to OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland. The funding will benefit the hospital's work to provide the best possible care to the children of Oregon and beyond.
"We are incredibly thankful to the CVS Pharmacy team for this generous gift that will provide hope and support to the patients and families of OHSU Doernbecher for many years to come," said Dana Braner, physician-in-chief, OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, and professor and interim chair, Department of Pediatrics, OHSU School of Medicine.
With CVS Health's acquisition of all Target pharmacies and retail clinics across 47 states, CVS Health now has a presence in every state.
