As we open our second season of Healthy Chats, we have a bonus episode with a representative from CVS Health, which we’re very happy about as the CVS Health Foundation is one of our favorite partners.

In 2020, HealthCorps honored the CVS Health Foundation for its commitment to working in communities. We applauded CVS Health and its belief that everyone should have the opportunity to make healthy choices, regardless of the condition in which they are born, grow, live, work and age. The CVS Health Foundation provides strategic support to partners, like HealthCorps, that are helping to increase community-based access to health care for at-risk populations.

A year ago no one could have imagined what the next 300 days would hold for us.  But here we are, emerging from the pandemic with optimism fueled by hope and science.

CVS Health has remained on the front lines of our global battle with covid and it’s fitting that they are with us today to discuss how we can all engage to bring this chapter to an end.

In this bonus episode of Healthy Chats, Amy speaks with Dr. Ulises Perez, a chief medical officer and senior director of clinical solutions for CVS Health.  This episode was recorded when the fate of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine was in limbo.  Spoiler alert, Dr. Perez predicted it would be back in use within a week.

Our bonus episode provides great insight into the different vaccines, why pharmacies are playing such an important role in vaccine distribution and the vaccines roll out to teens.
