CVS

CVS Health Corp

A healthcare giant that runs thousands of CVS Pharmacy stores and MinuteClinic walk-in clinics, manages prescription drug benefits through CVS Caremark, and insures tens of millions of people through Aetna health plans. It was founded in 1963 in Lowell, Massachusetts as Consumer Value Stores — the initials that became its name — by brothers Stanley and Sidney Goldstein and partner Ralph Hoagland. In 2014 it became the first national pharmacy chain to stop selling tobacco, rebranding itself as CVS Health.
