This statewide authorization reflects CVS Pharmacy’s ongoing commitment to meeting customers where they are, reinforcing the company’s focus on being a trusted community health destination, offering convenient access to essential health care products. “For families relying on WIC, ease of access matters,” said Zach Dennett, Vice President, Merchandising, CVS Health. “Knowing they can use benefits for infant formula at any CVS Pharmacy in Rhode Island helps remove barriers to nutrition at a critical stage of life and creates a more reliable, supportive experience for families across the state.” WIC is a federally funded nutrition program providing eligible pregnant individuals, new parents, infants, and young children with access to nutritious foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and health care referrals. At CVS Pharmacy locations in Rhode Island, WIC benefits may currently be used to purchase infant formulas only, in accordance with program authorization. The company continues to work with other states to expand WIC authorization to additional CVS Pharmacy locations. \### **About CVS Health** [CVS Health](https://investors.cvshealth.com/investors/default.aspx) is a leading health solutions company building a world of health around every consumer, wherever they are.
