CVS Health Commits $100,000 to Congressional Medal of Honor Society's HonorCare Program

New Program Helps Our Nation's Heroes Maintain and Improve Their Health After Sacrificing So Much

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a powerful display of gratitude and support, CVS Health® is stepping forward as a founding sponsor of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's (CMOHS) HonorCare Program—a newly defined health program designed to safeguard the well-being of the nation's most decorated heroes–Medal of Honor Recipients–and their families.

Timed with National Medal of Honor Day, this collaboration underscores CVS Health's deep commitment to honoring those who have made unparalleled sacrifices in service to our country. Through a generous $100,000 donation, CVS Health will energize and empower the HonorCare Program to provide a comprehensive range of health care services, including mental health support, companion care, and assistance for the long-term well-being of the 61 living Medal of Honor Recipients and their families. This essential collaboration ensures these extraordinary individuals receive the holistic care and dignity they have earned through their sacrifices.

"This contribution from CVS Health is not only incredibly generous – it's vital," said Medal of Honor Recipient and CMOHS President Britt Slabinski. "The journey of a Medal of Honor Recipient doesn't end after the battle. The lasting physical and emotional tolls persist long after. Thanks to CVS Health, we can now provide the care that these heroes need to heal, recover, and live fulfilling lives, all while continuing to inspire our nation by sharing their stories."

CVS Health's commitment to the military-connected community runs deep, and their involvement in the HonorCare Program is a natural extension of their ongoing mission to make health care more accessible. As a leading health solutions company, CVS Health is not just enhancing medical accessibility for Medal of Honor Recipients—they are enriching the lives of these deserving individuals and their families by addressing their unique, ongoing health needs.

"At CVS Health, we believe in honoring those who have selflessly served our country, and we are deeply proud to support the Congressional Medal of Honor Society in providing the care these heroes deserve," said Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. "By working with the Society, we are ensuring that Medal of Honor Recipients and their families receive the comprehensive support they need to thrive, and we hope this inspires others to join us in caring for those who have given so much for our freedom."

The HonorCare Program is a bold step forward in fulfilling two key mandates of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's charter: protecting and providing for the well-being of the nation's living Medal of Honor Recipients and their families. This partnership represents a meaningful and enduring commitment to those who have gone above and beyond in service to our nation.

About the Congressional Medal of Honor Society
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization entrusted with the care, preservation, and protection of the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military award for valor in combat. Chartered by Congress in 1958, the Society is exclusively comprised of living Medal of Honor recipients who embody the values of courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism, and citizenship. As the sole authority on the Medal, the Society safeguards its integrity, ensuring its legacy endures for generations. The Society fulfills its mission through impactful outreach, education, and preservation initiatives, including the Medal of Honor Character Development Program, Citizen Honors Awards, and the Medal of Honor Museum. Located aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, South Carolin.

Guided by a bipartisan commitment to its charter, the Society leads the nation in advancing education, inspiring Americans to live by the Medal's values, and providing recipients opportunities to engage with communities across the country. With over 40 million Americans having served in the Armed Forces since its creation during the Civil War, yet only 3,526 having received the Medal of Honor, the Society's mission to preserve its legacy becomes more urgent as the number of living recipients continues to decline—reflecting a 44.44% loss since 2014.
