Captain Mark Kelly, I’m so proud of all you’ve accomplished—not just in space, but right here on Earth. I love you endlessly 🚀

USCEA Members will receive the following email shortly:

Effective immediately—and due to the abrupt closure of Rite Aid—ACSHIC has added Walgreens to its pharmacy network. All ACSHIC members may now fill prescriptions at Walgreens, in addition to other in-network pharmacies. If you choose to use Walgreens, please be sure to bring and present your Optum ID card, as Walgreens may not yet have it on file.
