CVS Health honored for colleague-focused health-and-wellness initiatives

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Health was honored on Wednesday by the National Business Group on Health, a non-profit association of large U.S. employers, for its ongoing commitment and dedication to promoting a healthy work environment and encouraging employees and their families to maintain healthy lifestyles.



CVS Health was among 64 U.S. employers that received the Best Employers for Healthy Lifestyles award.

“At CVS Health, we believe that wellness is as important for our colleagues as it is for our patients and customers,” CVS Health’s EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Lisa Bisaccia said.



CVS Health's WellRewards program helps colleagues improve their well-being with an array of programs including preventive screenings, flu shots, smoking cessation, weight management, health coaching, health management for chronic and rare conditions, EAP life services, and maternity management. In addition to tobacco-free corporate campuses, CVS Health offers team-based walking programs and healthy dining options in campus cafeterias, which make it easier for colleagues to make healthy choices. As a further demonstration of its commitment to health, CVS Health stopped the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products in its retail stores.



“We congratulate CVS Health for being among an elite group of companies that are making a difference every day in improving the health and overall well-being of their employees and families," Brian Marcotte, president and CEO of the National Business Group on Health, said. "CVS Health and its leadership team are to be commended for their commitment to promoting healthy work environments and for their innovation in developing outstanding programs for employees that encourage good health and well-being.”
