Walgreens Does the Unthinkable

Walgreen Co. released its plans to acquire two worksite-health-center operators as it looks to expand  its portfolio and begin managing the on-site health centers and pharmacies of major companies. This will act as a compliment to Walgreens plan to add drugstore clinics as well.

Walgreens seems to be taking charge and ultimately putting people's health back in their own hands. People now have the option of pushing the pills aside for a natural form of preventative medicine through exercise and healthy living.

As long as employees and customers of Walgreens understand the benefits of losing weight and incorporating aerobic and strength training into their lives, the tide may begin to turn on America's problem with obesity and preventable health diseases.

It's nice to see that big businesses like Walgreens can win either way now… hopefully we can be the ones to help them make a push for all-natural alternatives.
