November 1, 2023- Retailers entering the world of healthcare has continued with Commercial Healthcare Provider (CHP) Walgreens entering the virtual health service scene. Walgreens Virtual Healthcare (WVH) will tie together virtual consultations with healthcare providers and prescription services, available to consumers through their phone, tablet, or computer.
In late October, the virtual program began in nine states including California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. Patients currently in the eligible states will be able to access WVH at Walgreens.com. There are plans by the company in place to expand the program to more states over time.
WVH offers treatment for common health needs such as seasonal allergies, medication refills, urgent care (COVID-19 and flu related), women’s health, men’s health, hair loss and skin health, and more.
