CVS will broaden its health services with plans to add space for yoga classes, dietitians, and medical equipment to 1,500 stories through 2021, the drug-store chain announced. It recently tested a store model in Houston, called the HealthHub, and it intends to expand it to Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Tampa.
