CVS/pharmacy and the National Council on Aging Extend 'Prescription for Better Health' Partnership
Date:3/27/2008

tool, the nation's most comprehensive

Web-based service to screen for benefits programs for seniors with

limited income and resources. BenefitsCheckUp includes more than 1,550

public and private benefits programs from all 50 states and the

District of Columbia, ranging from energy assistance and nutrition

programs to Extra Help through Medicare Part D and income supplements.

CVS/pharmacy and NCOA offer a co-branded version of the site at

http://www.benefitscheckup.org/cvs. Informational brochures are available in

CVS/pharmacy stores nationwide.

-- Prevention: CVS/pharmacy offers free health screenings in select

markets with community outreach supported by the NCOA. In 2008,

CVS/pharmacy is conducting screenings to evaluate blood and cholesterol

levels, bone density and hearing in selected stores. In addition,

CVS/pharmacy offers flu vaccinations during cold and flu season.

A new component moving forward will be joint CVS/pharmacy and NCOA research initiatives that promise to yield new insights on seniors and medication trends, providing important data to enhance "Prescription for Better Health" programs.

"With the oldest of the baby boomers turning 62 this year, it's more important than ever to have resources readily available to seniors and their caregivers to guide them through health issues and give them a better understanding of their medications," said Larry Merlo, President of CVS/pharmacy. "Our partnership with the NCOA is proving to be a very effective way to make resources easily accessible at the community level. We're very excited to continue the good work we've begun."
