"CVS Health isn’t just any old pharmacy. The chain is quietly and efficiently replacing your doctor. CVS has been running its walk-in MinuteClinics for years. … And its HealthHUB concept is pushing CVS deeper into health care, providing patients with full primary-care services, dietitians and even weight-loss programs. This is a smart move. Retail may not be ‘dead,’ per se, but CVS and other retail pharmacies face unrelenting pressure from Amazon.com and other online competitors. By offering services rather than just commoditized pills, CVS is ensuring it remains relevant in the decade ahead."
