Education

A dose of knowledge with CVS Health®

CVS® has taken steps to educate youth through our Dose of Knowledge Program, a no-cost outreach program expanded in partnership with Discovery Education which targets school-aged children in grades K–12, educating them on topics such as substance misuse, medication safety and mental health.  

The Dose of Knowledge program strives to empower educators, pharmacists, parents and other members of the community to support education related to substance misuse and guide children and teens to make good decisions for the health and well-being of themselves and their community.
