The significance of the #SoldierRide cannot be understated: Warriors band together through their shared bonds of service, camaraderie, and physical activity to build confidence and bring healing. #FurtherTogether #FORVETERANS

This week, we are thrilled to participate in the VFW Service Officer Training in Annapolis, Maryland! At Express Scripts, we’re deeply committed to supporting the VFW’s mission, especially as the dedicated mail order pharmacy for TRICARE. It’s been an enriching experience discussing key topics with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, highlighting our joint efforts to enhance veterans’ and military service members access to medication. The insightful questions from service officers across the country have made it clear just how vital our services are to their communities. We’re proud to play a role in supporting our veterans and look forward to continuing our work with the VFW and TRICARE to serve those who have served us. 🇺🇸
