CVS is rolling out uninterrupted lunch breaks for pharmacists to address the burnout crisis the profession faces.
Beginning Feb. 28, most CVS pharmacies will close for a lunch break from 1:30-2 p.m., according to a Feb. 11 Drug Store News report.
"We want to make sure our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are at their best, which means supporting their schedules accordingly. While we've always had a meal break policy, we've begun rolling out a pre-scheduled, uninterrupted lunch break across our pharmacies," a CVS spokesperson told Drug Store News.
The company said it is notifying customers so they can plan for the change.
