Thought Leadership
With a wide range of user-friendly digital tools and programs that go beyond the pharmacy, you can offer members smart solutions to help them effectively manage their health and get closer to achieving their wellness goals. These patient-centric resources also help providers by driving better outcomes and controlling costs.
Rewards for Healthy Behaviors
Walgreens rewards healthy choices–and we're evolving our program to provide an even more holistic approach to health that focuses on meaningful engagement. Your members will benefit from setting goals and achieving them through challenges that include healthy eating, exercise and good sleep habits.
For example, patients enrolled in the program tracking blood pressure two or more times a week had 3 percent higher adherence to their antihypertensive medication. Plus, those tracking blood glucose one or more times a week had 5.2 percent higher adherence to their oral antidiabetic medication.1
