Half of the primary care worksite health centers managed by Walgreens Employer Solutions Group are now accredited as medical homes, according to an announcement by Walgreens and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.

Walgreens also plans to receive accreditation for all of its employer-based primary care centers during the first half of 2013.

"We're proud to have received accreditation from AAAHC, an organization that shares our commitment to ensuring health care delivery meets the highest-quality standards and is coordinated across the health care spectrum, benefitting both employers and employees," says Trent Riley, divisional vice president for Walgreens Health and Wellness division. "Walgreens has demonstrated how investing in worksite health programs can reduce costs and improve health outcomes for our clients, and this recognition underscores the broad capabilities and quality of care delivered by the dedicated health care providers at our centers."
