As June comes to a close, we’re looking at Walgreens year-round support of LGBTQ+ community health through the experience of pharmacist Drew Halbur and his more than 20 years working at a Walgreens co-location with Howard Brown Health in Chicago. From the early days as the very first Walgreens onsite specialty pharmacy to now being partners in LGTBQ+ primary care, Angela Bower and Kaitlin Weiss Metos share how the relationship remains rooted in providing knowledgeable, holistic care in a stigma-free environment, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

Recently, our Work Perks event showcased benefits available to all our team members. Here are just a few examples: 🤝 Our team member-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs) provide safe spaces and opportunities to listen, learn and connect with peers from various backgrounds and lived experiences. More than 6,200 team members are active in at least one of our 24 BRGs that celebrate and support values such as diversity, parenthood, military service, social causes and many others. 💰 In 1939, Charles R. Walgreen Sr. handed down 2,500 Walgreens shares to financially assist employees and retirees facing hardships. This was the seed of the Walgreen Benefit Fund that lives on through today; in fiscal year 2023, the Fund helped team members with $2.7 million in grants. 🧘♂️ Through Life365, all team members and eligible family members have access to emotional wellbeing and work-life balance resources that include wellbeing assessments and tools, face-to-face and virtual clinician visits, digital group support and concierge services. #WorkAtWalgreens #Benefits #TeamMembers #WorkPerks
