WOONSOCKET, R.I., Aug. 29, 2023 — CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) is actively preparing for Hurricane Idalia’s impending landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast. The company’s priority is the health and safety of its customers, members and colleagues, and it is committed to providing its communities with access to the products and services they need to plan for the storm.

CVS Health is implementing proactive measures across its businesses to ensure continuity of care as Hurricane Idalia nears:

CVS Pharmacy stores comply with all local evacuation orders. If there are any mandatory closures, impacted stores will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. If a store is closed for more than one day, the pharmacy’s phone lines will be rerouted to a nearby open CVS Pharmacy so patients can continue to access their prescriptions. Patients who have scheduled a COVID-19 or flu vaccination will be notified of any changes to their appointment by email or text message.

CVS Health also recommends the following tips to ensure prescription needs are met for those potentially impacted by the storm:

CVS Health remains dedicated to supporting its local communities and is in contact with disaster relief organizations to help communities respond to and recover from Hurricane Idalia.
