Workplace & Retail Clinic Bulletin November 2016

"These close partnerships are central to our strategy to increasing volumes to our pharmacies and driving footfall to our stores. This is the beauty of being independent... We can work with everybody and we can offer our services to everybody and we are not seen as particularly skewed to this or that player in the market."
-Stefano Pessina, Chief Executive of Walgreens

"Currently, more than 222,000 nurse practitioners are licensed to practice in the United States, with about 5,000 working in the retail health industry."
