Village Medical at Walgreens Now Open in Houston's Jones Cypress Crossing

        What  Walgreens Boots Alliance and VillageMD
               will open a new Village Medical at
               Walgreens in Houston's Jones Cypress
               Crossing neighborhood today. Village
               Medical at Walgreens is a full-
               service primary care clinic.



             The new Village Medical at Walgreens
               clinics integrate pharmacists as
               critical members of VillageMD's
               physician-led, multidisciplinary team
               to provide patients with a full suite
               of primary care and pharmacy services
               at convenient Walgreens neighborhood
               locations. By combining the expertise
               of both the physician and pharmacist,
               patients can benefit from improved
               health outcomes and lowered cost of
               care. With Village Medical board-
               certified physicians facilitating
               regular and direct communication
               between patients and Walgreens
               pharmacists, this model has been shown
               to help their patients take the right
               medications and get the right doses at
               the right times.

        Why                The expansion is part of the large-scale rollout announced earlier this
                            year to open 500 to 700 Village Medical at Walgreens clinics in more than
                            30 U.S. markets in the next five years.



                          Expansion plans were driven by the success of the first five clinics in
                            Houston, indicated by overwhelmingly positive feedback and high
                            satisfaction from both patients and physicians. With many clinics in
                            medically underserved areas, Village Medical at Walgreens will help meet
                            the needs of all people, including those who may not have access to
                            healthcare and are at greater risk of health disparities.

                           The clinics will accept a wide range of health insurance options, offering
                            cost-effective and comprehensive primary care to meet the full continuum
                            of healthcare needs.



                           Patients benefit from VillageMD's patent-pending docOS technology platform,
                            which integrates data and analytics to give physicians 360-degree view of
                            their patients' health needs so they can be addressed.
