Cure CVS

Cure CVS Now

Cure CVS is an initiative by Change to Win and partner organizations to reform the drugstore industry, starting with CVS, the country's leading provider of prescription drugs and largest drugstore chain. By joining concerned citizen groups with the six million members of Change to Win unions, Cure CVS aims to ensure that CVS provides equal access across all communities and income levels to its stores and services, offers fair and accurate prices, provides quality products and services, protects customers' privacy and puts quality pharmacy care first. Our report, "Cure CVS: From low quality to high prices, CVS is failing our communities," documents ways that CVS fails to meet those standards.

It has more drugstores than any other chain -- some 6,800 -- selling everything from soup to shampoo and eyeliner to vitamins, along with prescription and over-the-counter medications. But CVS's growth has come at a high price for many of the communities in which CVS operates.
