CVS Replies

Dear (Hobo Barista):

Thank you for contacting us about our prescription filling policies.

At CVS/pharmacy, we are committed to helping people live longer,
healthier, happier lives. In pursuing that goal, our pharmacists work
hard to ensure that our customers' prescription needs are promptly and
completely satisfied.

We remain committed to providing reasonable accommodations to our
pharmacists that have sincerely held religious beliefs that conflict
with their duty to fill prescriptions. However, we also remain focused
and committed to patient care. So in order to meet the prescription
needs of all of our patients in a prompt and timely manner, our policy
requires that a pharmacist who wants an accommodation for a sincerely
held religious conviction notify us before being asked to dispense a
medication to which they object. In this way, alternate arrangements
can be made in advance to ensure that these prescriptions will be filled
promptly in our stores.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us.


Sincerely,


Christine Fleuette
CVS Customer Relations
