Ms. Lynch said she aims to make sure CVS Health is acessible and afforable for all and for CVS Health to be looked at as a healthcare company.

“I don’t want people to think about CVS Health as just that drugstore,” Ms. Lynch told The New York Times

These are the steps CVS Health has been taking to integrate itself into the healthcare industry:

1. Adding behavioral health specialists in its stores.

2. Implementing virtual primary care.

3. Continuing to expand into primary care.

4. Continuing to provide vaccinations.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
