Two major retail chains — Walgreens and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) — are expanding their health care reach while increasing their footprints in the home- and community-based care space.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (Nasdaq: WBA) — Walgreens’ holding company — and VillageMD announced a five-year plan Wednesday to expand the retailer’s full-service physician services at its stores. As part of the plan, Walgreens and VillageMD will add 500 to 700 more physician offices at Walgreens locations over the next five years.
The two organizations will also place further emphasis on at-home care and telehealth services.
