CVS Health Corp.’s new Chief Executive Officer David Joyner issued a plea for help to workers as he sets upon fixing the troubled health conglomerate he took over from ousted CEO Karen Lynch.
“Here’s where I need your help,” Joyner said in an internal memo sent to staff on Friday seen by Bloomberg News. “It is no secret that our industry faces significant and dynamic challenges, and that CVS Health must make financial and operational improvements to drive elite execution and maintain our position as a leading health care company,” he said.
