WALGREENS

WASHINGTON —  The nation’s major companies are advancing in record numbers vital policies and practices to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) workers around the world, according to the 2017 Corporate Equality Index released Monday by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization.

WASHINGTON - The nation's military covered under TRICARE were given new marching orders effective Dec. 1 as Walgreens joined TRICARE's retail pharmacy network, displacing CVS Health as a preferred pharmacy in the Express Scripts-managed network.

That move could displace as many as 16 million of CVS Health's most profitable prescriptions, many of which Walgreens will be endeavoring to capture.

WAUKESHA, Wis.  –  Dave Wendland, VP strategic relations and member of the owners group at Hamacher Resource Group, will moderate the Chronic Care Roundtable on Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Drug Store News Annual Industry Issues Summit. It will be Wendland’s 13th time moderating at the event, HRG stated.

Consumers and fans of "The Walking Dead" can now pick up an exclusive Rick Grimes action figure, along with their shampoo or prescriptions, at Walgreens.

The drug retailer will carry the McFarlane Toys action figure starting in January. The exclusive 5" Walking Dead Constable Rick Grimes figure will cost $14.99 and come with a snub-nose pistol as an accessory.
