Walgreens is expanding its specialty pharmacy services, and is making investments in gene- and cell-therapy services. Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy is aimed at expanding access to care for patients with complex, chronic conditions, such as cancer, cystic fibrosis and Crohn’s disease.
UPMC has confirmed that it is laying off an estimated 1,000 staff members, or 1% of its 100,000-plus workforce.
Post acute care is here to stay as COVID-19 brought to light the need for these services and the right technology to drive better outcomes, says Heidi Wold, chief population health officer at Longevity Health Plan.
