CVS Pharmacy opens first pharmacy-only location in Chicago

CVS Health (CVS) unveiled the first of nearly 20 pharmacy-only, apothecary-style CVS Pharmacy locations it plans to open this year to increase access to pharmacy care. The new pharmacy, located at 2628 West Pershing Road in Chicago’s West End, will help bridge gaps in care and make it easier for community members to access medications, immunizations and other health care services provided by pharmacists. Pharmacy-only locations will open in areas across the country, increasing access to vital pharmacy care, creating a simple and convenient way for community members to seek pharmacist support. Each site will feature a full-service pharmacy with a customized selection of over-the-counter products available for purchase. With footprints averaging around 3,000 square feet, the pharmacy-only sites will help ensure patients have access to prescription medications and the trusted advice and counsel of their neighborhood CVS pharmacist.
