My name is Jamie Pappas and I manage corporate communications and social media strategy for CVS Health. I am working on a project to update our Wikipedia page with factual and relevant information to make it more useful for visitors who may wish to learn more. I am keen to observe the Wikipedia guidelines and etiquette standards of factual, neutral information on our page.
I am going to be proposing changes over the course of the months of October - December 2016 and welcome your feedback on the proposed changes.
CVS Health (previously CVS Corporation and CVS Caremark Corporation) (stylized as CVSHealth) is an American retail pharmacy and health care company headquartered in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The company began in 1963 with three partners who grew the venture from a parent company, Mark Steven, Inc., that helped retailers manage their health and beauty aid product lines. The business began as a chain of health and beauty aid stores, but within several years, pharmacies were added. To facilitate growth and expansion, the company joined The Melville Corporation, which managed a string of retail businesses. Following a period of growth in the 1980s and 1990s, CVS Corporation spun off from Melville in 1996, becoming a standalone company trading on the New York Stock Exchange as NYSE: CVS [1]
It later completed a merger with the pharmacy benefit management company Caremark Rx in 2007 and was consequently renamed CVS Caremark Corporation. The company was renamed CVS Health in 2014 following its decision to remove tobacco products from CVS Pharmacy story shelves. CVS Health's assets include CVS Pharmacy, CVS Caremark, CVS Speciality, and the retail clinic MinuteClinic. In 2016, it ranked seventh on the Fortune 500 and 18th on the Fortune Global 500 list.
