Working with physicians to improve the health of communities

CVS Health is focused on making health care more connected, accessible and supportive of physicians and patients alike. A key area of focus is the company’s ongoing work to better integrate care across settings — combining pharmacy services, primary and preventive care, digital tools and care coordination to reduce fragmentation.

A core part of the company’s mission is promoting healthier communities. One way CVS Health advances this is by investing in programs and partnerships that address health and wellness beyond the clinical setting, recognizing the impact that factors such as access to care, affordability, education and social needs can have on individuals and families.

“We believe that community-based efforts, combined with strong primary care, are essential to creating lasting improvements in health — and we value opportunities to work alongside family physicians who are deeply embedded in the communities they serve,” they told us. “We are proud to partner with the AAFP because of our shared commitment to strengthening primary care and improving health outcomes for patients and communities.”

The AAFP Foundation is grateful to CVS Health for collaborating with the AAFP, which also supports our efforts.

“The work of the AAFP Foundation plays a critical role in supporting family physicians — through education, workforce development and initiatives that help expand access to high-quality, equitable care,” added CVS Health. “Knowing that our partnership helps advance this work is especially meaningful to us.”
