Did you know as many as 50 million people in the United States have an autoimmune disease, making it the third most prevalent disease category, surpassed only by cancer and heart disease, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences? We did, which is why today we are opening 25 new autoimmune-focused Specialty Pharmacies of the Community (SPOC) across five states as part of a continued journey toward improving health outcomes for all. These 25 new locations come after debuting six last October. The expansion brings the total number of autoimmune-focused Specialty Pharmacies of the Community to 31 across nine states. I am so proud of our pharmacists and pharmacy staff who have been specially trained to make the healthcare journey easier for these patients. SPOC locations will help patients with many aspects of care, including industry-leading clinical programs, pharmacy services provided by pharmacists trained on autoimmune diseases, enhanced care coordination, nutrition counseling and emotional support services. We know helping people save money and live better is our mission, and SPOCs are helping patients do just that. I am looking forward to serving patients in these locations, making a difference in their lives and expanding to more SPOCs in the future to help more people in our communities.
