ProCare Pharmacy, a subsidiary of CVS Health has entered an agreement to buy certain assets related to Premier’s specialty pharmacy business for $22.5 million, plus up to an additional $20 million for inventory, each subject to adjustment.

The transaction is expected to close in the current quarter ending June 30, 2019.
