CHICAGO — On Friday, at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Conference here (October 19-24), Walgreens and AllianceRx Walgreens Prime will kick off a new collaboration with the Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF). The collaboration is focused on helping people living with inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, and psoriasis, better manage their conditions. Walgreens, AllianceRx Walgreens Prime and GHLF will provide patients with valuable educational resources, featuring unique digital and print content and products.
Initially, Walgreens and AllianceRx Walgreens Prime will work with CreakyJoints.org, a GHLF patient community and advocacy group, to educate patients about how they can best benefit from working with their pharmacists, who help them access prescribed medications and manage insurance roadblocks, get symptom relief sooner, and achieve long-term remission of their conditions.
In addition, together, the companies will provide enhanced training for pharmacists at 31 Walgreens community-based specialty pharmacies, as well as AllianceRx Walgreens Prime central specialty locations, to help patients navigate their inflammatory conditions. Walgreens specialty pharmacies and AllianceRx Walgreens Prime’s specialty and home delivery pharmacies help patients access, afford, and adhere to their treatments while also helping them to successfully manage their conditions. Designated as specialized locations for inflammatory conditions, all of these locations will offer unique personalized care and resources for patients.
Lastly, Walgreens and AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, working together with GHLF, will continue to develop new programs that strive to improve medication adherence, reduce side effects and interactions, and provide symptom relief for patients.
