Happy 4th! And long may we believe what unites us is greater than what divides us.

This #Juneteenth and every day, I deeply appreciate how our CVS Health Black Colleague Resource Group (BCRG) members show up with grit, grace, and fierce dedication to pursue generational dreams. This year’s theme #IAmMyAncestorsWildestDream reminds us all that to create a better future, we must understand our past, and just as much, commit to the work still ahead for true equality. Our BCRG team member's passion to forge paths forward and build community for their peers and those we serve will benefit so many in the years to come. So, to all of you, thank you - Frank Brown and I learn so much from you every day by leading with you. YOU truly are your ancestors’ wildest dreams ✨ #HealthierHappensTogether

The CVS Health Paragon Award is one of the most prestigious recognitions #TeamCVS can receive, and this year, we had 4 incredible honorees on our team. Each of their passion, creativity, dedication, and so much more fueled the impact they are making for the millions of customers we serve. So, can I have a cheer for . . . . 🤝 Simone Simon Gardner from our Community Affairs team, whose desire to help others led to a critical media partnership that drove awareness on health conditions and necessary care in underserved communities. 🏪 Kathryn Buckley Hanna, MBA from our Real Estate team, whose innovative mindset and detailed planning has helped us both optimize and innovate with our community footprint, including our brand new locations which bring Oak Street Health and CVS Pharmacy together. ❤️ Heather Watkins from our Integrated Service Model team, whose ingenuity and problem-solving skills created more seamless, efficient, and valuable support for customers in the moments that matter most. 📲 Kristen DiCorleto from our CVS Media Exchange (CMX) group, who developed a new go-to-market strategy that elevated how we serve consumers the right content at the right moment, leading to numerous awards and industry recognitions. Thank you for being rockstar colleagues and an inspiration for us all! #HealthierHappensTogether

My favorite #MemorialDay activity is kicking off summer with my family at the beach. But all this beauty, all this freedom, all this unlimited possibility and calming sand and sun is because others chose to serve and protect this amazing country. So thank you to the many families who have lost loved ones and to the many who serve each and every day. And a special 🙏 to two of my favorite military vets John Tien and William J. Ashmore.

During our Town Hall last week, our team had a lot of fun doing taste tests of CVS Pharmacy’s new line of food focused on providing nutritious options - Well Market! The final vote? More flavor, less post-snack guilt 😊 Congrats to Musab Balbale, Erin Condon, Michael Wier, Danielle Futrell, Jennifer Shamshoian, Zhana E., and Nick Rankin. Let us know what you think!

“Lead with sisu, which means determination, grit, innovation, and practical optimism” is just one of the many nuggets of wisdom #TeamCVS heard from Verizon Business’s Iris Meijer, a leader I admire and adore. From believing the customer is the most important stakeholder, to understanding the role data, AI and insights play in creating a global brand, or the reminder that the key ingredient in a winning formula is an empowered team – we all walked away feeling a bit more energized to do our best work. And, of course, I love any chance I get to chat with my fellow Serena Williams fan 😊 Thank you, Iris, for an inspiring conversation! #HealthierHappensTogether #Altitude

It was a pleasure talking with Christine Guilfoyle at the recent Association of National Advertisers #SeeHer Gender Equity Conference to share how CVS Health is actively breaking down barriers for girls and women through our work on #HEReForHer, ending the #PinkTax, #BeautyUnaltered and our commitment to eliminate period poverty. Grateful to Mary Casperson, Erin Condon, Joanne Armstrong, Yanique Woodall, Melissa Schulman, Florence "Flossie" Crisp, Rachel Caldwell, Musab Balbale and Shana Bartlett for leading the way to drive change and empower girls and women to thrive! Also, love that our daughters get to look up and see us leaning in. Together. #HealthierHappensTogether

Happy #EarthDay! At CVS Health, a healthy planet is key to a healthy population, and our job is never finished. Whether it’s our customers eliminating over 500 MILLION (yes, you read that right!) paper receipts by going digital, our Renewable Energy strategy, or our #TeamCVS colleagues working towards launching #Sustainable, reusable, and compostable products across our CVS Pharmacy's shelves – together, we are doing our part to keep the 🌎 thriving for generations to come.  Read more about our commitments here: https://lnkd.in/e5Z7r46j

Spring is the season of fresh beginnings - and for our Black Colleague Resource Group (BCRG) that means welcoming our new super star National Co-Chairs: Kimberly Fain, Litisha Sibblis and Andre Greenwood, MBA! As Exec Sponsors, Frank Brown and I ❤ identifying leaders who cultivate a culture of growth, support, and togetherness for our BCRG members. We know you’ll make a profound impact and couldn’t be more thankful to be on this journey with you. And a huge thanks to our former Co-Chairs Claudia Norman and Walter Gunter (he/him/his) - you inspire us, move us forward, and set the example for how we want to lead!   Join me in congratulating Kimberly, Litisha, and Andre on this incredible accomplishment! 🙌 #HealthierHappensTogether
