Walgreens is supporting relief efforts in Puerto Rico as many
communities work to recover in the aftermath of earthquakes that
impacted the region last week.
Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 15, Walgreens customers throughout
Puerto Rico and South Florida can make donations at store checkout
to the American Red Cross earthquake relief. The store donation
program runs through Wednesday, Jan. 22.
“The health and wellbeing of the communities we serve is at the
center of our purpose, and we’re proud to do our part to help those
who have been impacted in many parts of the island,” said Nivia
Santiago, regional vice president, Florida South/Puerto Rico
Region, Walgreens. “We’re taking several measures to help support
relief efforts, from accepting customer donations to the American
Red Cross at store checkout to providing emergency supplies.”
Walgreens has also donated supplies such as over-the-counter
medications, personal hygiene items, baby formula and sunscreen to
emergency shelters in the region, in addition to donating water to
the municipality of Peñuelas.
There are more than 100 Walgreens stores in Puerto Rico, and
nearly all remain open to continue to serve the needs of the
community. Walgreens has also deployed a mobile pharmacy in Yauco,
Puerto Rico to ensure patients have access to their prescriptions
while efforts continue to reopen the Walgreens store located at 643
Yauco Plaza II.
The store locator feature on Walgreens.com and the mobile app
can help anyone find the nearest Walgreens and also to check the
store status. Patients can also contact pharmacy staff 24/7 through
Pharmacy Chat available on Walgreens.com and the mobile app, or
call 1-800-WALGREENS.
