Oak Street Health, a primary care network acquired by CVS Health in May, has announced plans to expand into four additional states, bringing the total to 25.

"One of the most critical ways we advance our mission to rebuild health care as it should be is by bringing our high-quality primary care and unmatched patient experience to more older adults across the country," CEO Mike Pykosz said. "We look forward to meeting and caring for new deserving patients in Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Virginia, as well as the opportunity to create meaningful jobs for those passionate about improving health outcomes for patients and bridging health equity gaps in their communities."

Oak Street Health delivers personalized, preventive primary care through a model created to meet the needs of older adults. The integrated model incorporates behavioral health care and social determinants support and is accessible through a mix of in-center, in-home and telehealth appointments, as well as a 24/7 patient support line.
