Walgreens wants to "develop a system that makes sense for the physician and the patient community," Dr. Rosan said.
Dr. Sussman agreed. "We don’t see ourselves as separate or competitive" with physicians, he said. "We see ourselves as collaborating in an environment where there are fewer primary care physicians."
