Episode description

In this era of mergers and collaborations, Walgreens invested $5.2 billion in VillageMD to open hundreds of Village Medical at Walgreens practices across the country. Village Medical locations are spacious, featuring experienced primary care doctors and their clinical teams. The physician-led model allows for high-quality, accessible healthcare right in the communities — and health equity is an incredibly important topic that both companies believe passionately in.

MATTER and Mark Vainisi, senior vice president of corporate development and strategy at VillageMD, and Anita Allemand, chief transformation and integration officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance, discuss how the two organizations came to collaborate on Village Medical and what the next generation of healthcare looks like.
