Canada’s pharmacy sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation, driven by technology, shifting patient expectations, and the growing demand for accessible healthcare.
With more than 1,350 Shoppers Drug Mart® and Pharmaprix® stores operating in prime locations in each province and two territories, the company is one of the most convenient retailers in Canada.
For two decades, pharmacists have been responding to an urgent need for more accessible healthcare. What began with administering flu shots in 2007, has become an important part of how Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacists are doing their part for patients who are increasingly turning to their local pharmacists for proven, convenient care for a growing number of specific acute and chronic conditions.
The Shoppers Foundation for Women's Health will invest $50M by 2026 to address some of the most pressing health inequities facing women, including lack of representation in health research, barriers to accessing mental healthcare, and the urgent consequences women disproportionately face due to poverty and domestic violence.
