The CVS Path to Nutrition program offers healthy fare in its on-site cafes, regularly partnering with local fitness clubs. Last year, a 21-day vegan meal plan challenge was offered. Smoking cessation and financial well-being tools are in place.

With over 8,600 Rhode Island colleagues, the company plans increased support for employees’ mental and emotional health.
