Given these findings, Jackson and the Walgreens team have found that: “sustainability, climate change, and health equity are not disparate issues. Therefore, achieving health equity is in everyone's interest.” In Jackson’s new role, she aims to empower her team to continue their commitment to improving patient outcomes by focusing on access, partnership, and education.
