Walgreens tapped Mary Langowski, a former CVS Health executive, to lead its U.S. healthcare segment. The move comes as the retail pharmacy giant looks to boost profitability in its healthcare business.


CVS Health cut its outlook for 2024 on the back of higher medical costs in the fourth quarter. The drugstore chain, which owns Aetna, joins other healthcare companies to see a spike in utilization.


And … following up on a federal law passed in September to increase competition among organ transplant contractors, HRSA is issuing requests for proposals for several different contracts.

The Biden administration just unveiled a plan to revamp the problem-ridden system for organ procurement and transplants.

One nonprofit, United Network for Organ Sharing, has had a monopoly on running the system for nearly four decades, but the government’s proposal includes potentially bringing more organizations in, as well as upping funding and modernizing the computer systems involved.

NOTE: There are ~104,000 people currently waiting for an organ transplant, and 17 people die per day while waiting.
