About The Position

CVS Health Pharmacy Technicians support pharmacy operations and service excellence in retail locations. They help ensure prescriptions are filled promptly, safely, and accurately; assist patients as a first point of contact; and contribute to a caring, safe, and inclusive pharmacy environment.
