NEW YORK - CVS Health Corp said it would offer expanded health services such as nutrition counseling and blood pressure screenings in 1,500 stores by the end of 2021, following through on plans announced during the pharmacy chain’s 2018 acquisition of health insurer Aetna.
The company said it expects adjusted earnings of over $7 per share in 2020, while reiterating its profit and sales forecast for 2019. Analysts on average expect a profit of $7.22 per share for 2020, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. The new format includes an employee with the title of “care concierge” who will direct customers to health services such as a nutritionist or nurse practitioner. It also will offer screenings for sleep apnea and opthalmology issues related to diabetes, among other services.
