Chicago Pharmacy Manager receives prestigious CVS Health company recognition

Eric Reid, Pharmacy Manager at the CVS Pharmacy located at 5205 North Broadway Street in Chicago, was awarded a 2025 National Paragon Award from CVS Health. The annual Paragon Awards recognize the best of the best among CVS Health’s colleagues and are among the highest honors awarded by the company.

Paragon Award recipients are chosen for their commitment to company values and for their dedication to fulfilling CVS Health’s purpose: bringing our heart to every moment of your health. At the same time, they have demonstrated their ability to deliver outstanding business results, lead their teams to excellence, and make substantial contributions to the communities where they live and work. They are considered role models for the entire company.

Reid is a well-respected, high-performing pharmacist who has led his store to become one of the top-performing locations in its district. Reid is also commended for his dedication to colleague training, as he has built an engaged team that has enhanced customer service and patient care.

“Eric is an exceptional, innovative performer who’s always finding new strategies that will benefit his team and his broader community,” said Kevin Shah, District Leader for CVS Pharmacy. “His leadership is evident not only in his store’s operational results, but also in the meaningful, collaborative relationships he has developed across the district. We are honored to have him on our team.”

Every year, CVS Health honors Paragon Award winners from its thousands of store managers, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and pharmacy benefits management employees. The winners were nominated by their supervisors and eventually voted on by CVS Health’s senior leaders. The 2025 Retail Paragon Award winners are being recognized in August as part of the company’s annual Retail Leadership Experience event activities.
