WBA\u2019s investment will support iA\u2019s expansion and further development of pharmacy automation solutions to benefit the entire pharmacy industry.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFor millions of Americans, the pharmacist is an essential partner in ensuring their health and quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an even greater sense of urgency for patients and customers to have direct access to pharmacists to receive trusted care and advice in order to take care of their families. iA\u2019s pharmacy automation solutions enable the shifting of much of the current medication dispensing labor that takes place in a retail pharmacy to more efficient, centralized settings, therefore freeing up more time for pharmacists to deliver front-line patient care.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe role of pharmacists as an integral part of the healthcare system and patients\u2019 care teams has never been more critical,\u201d said Stefano Pessina, executive vice chairman and CEO, Walgreens Boots Alliance. \u201cThe iA mission to further modernize and automate the prescription fulfillment process aligns with our priority to create the pharmacy of the future, reducing operational costs and enabling pharmacists to spend more time providing valuable healthcare services to patients such as vaccinations, diagnostic testing and medication management.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201ciA is passionately committed to working across all of pharmacy to ensure that all of our current customers, and any pharmacy across the country, has an opportunity to realize the optimum use and expansion of our software enabled pharmacy automation solutions,\u201d said Marvin Richardson, CEO of iA. \u201cOver the past year, we have seen an unprecedented demand for our solutions in order to move pharmacists\u2019 non-patient facing work out of a store environment, allowing pharmacy providers of any size and any location to take advantage of the accuracy and efficacy of today\u2019s pharmacy automation solutions while providing improved patient choice and impactful patient care. Together with WBA, we will work to unleash the full potential of pharmacy.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Notes to Editors:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>About Walgreens Boots Alliance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWalgreens Boots Alliance (Nasdaq: WBA) is a global leader in retail and wholesale pharmacy, touching millions of lives every day through dispensing and distributing medicines, and through its convenient retail locations, digital platforms and health and beauty products.
