CVS Health just revealed a key piece of its plan to change how Americans get healthcare

In a presentation on Tuesday at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, CVS CEO Larry Merlo outlined for the first time how the combined company will provide healthcare differently. The main goals are: keeping patients healthier and out of the hospital, caring for patients at less-costly locations (such as CVS's clinics instead of emergency rooms), and pioneering new methods of caring for devastating chronic diseases like cancer and heart failure.
