Walgreens said the acquisition of CareCentrix, which reported sales of $1.5 billion in 2021, will be completed by March 2023. 

In late August, Walgreens bought a 55 percent stake in the company for $330 million. CareCentrix has more than 19 million customers through “home nursing, durable medical equipment, home infusion and in-home palliative care,” according to a Walgreens Boots Alliance news release. 

CareCentrix CEO John Driscoll will become Walgreens’ executive vice president of U.S. healthcare, a new role that will oversee Walgreens Health, later in October. CareCentrix’s current CFO, Steve Horowitz, will step into the CEO role.

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.
