The pandemic, which revealed drastic inequities in healthcare, became the inspiration behind Wal- greens' primary care aspirations, according to Ms. Brewer. She said if the company could dispense medication, administer vaccines and have a pharma- cist talking to a patient, it could deliver primary care to more localized communities. These are the steps the pharmacy company is mak- ing toward prioritizing primary care in 2022: 1. In 2022, Ms. Brewer said Walgreens looks to ex- pand VillageMD, the company's primary care clinics, from 80 clinics across 10 markets to 200 clinics by the end of 2022. 2. With this model, the retailer will devote 3,000 square feet of store space into an eight-room physi- cian's office with a lab testing unit. 3. Rather than serving as in-store urgent care clinics, these clinics will offer coordinated care with Wal- greens pharmacists. 4. Walgreens will partner with insurers to open Wal- greens Health Corners, in-store spaces staffed by nurses or pharmacists who will provide healthcare services including preventive screenings to members of certain health plans. 5. The company is also building its support capabil- ities for patients on medication for complex condi- tions and branching into post-acute care. n
