History
During its inception, CVS was called Melville Corporation and was situated in New York. CVS initially meant Consumer Value Stores. However now, the initials stand for “Convenience, Value and Service.” The history of Caremark dates back to 1979 when it was founded by James M. Sweeney and given the name Home Health Care of America (HHCA). The company started in Redwood, California. It then opened its first office in Beachwood, OH, where it had four employees. The office specialized in the supply of services to patients of Parental Therapy.
Other offices were opened in Atlanta, GA, Houston, TX, Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL, and Irvine, TX. In 1985, the name HHCA was changed to Caremark. In 1987, Caremark was purchased by Baxter International and it was spun off as a public subsidiary of Baxter International’s in 1992. In 1996, there was a merger between Caremark and Birmingham, Alabama-based MedPartners/Mullikin, Inc. The merger was then given the name MedPartners, Inc. The MedPartners brand name was changed to Caremark Rx in the year 1998. The company is actively involved with the community it serves. For instance, there is the company’s Charitable Trust whose major objective is providing funding for education, community service and health care initiatives.

I usually don’t complain but after the cashier finished ring me up, I asked her about my extra coupon and she said her printer didn’t work and that she said she couldn’t due anything about it and that she was sorry about it… I have been buying lots of extra bucks saving that you all have been started and I really think that’s great ideal and start buying store brand name instead of Brand Names only…. Last week I received several coupons like I usually get…
