Silver City Pharmacy Manager receives prestigious CVS Health company recognition

Federico Ramirez, Pharmacy Manager at the CVS Pharmacy located at 610 Silver Boulevard in Silver City, 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.

Ramirez is a well-respected pharmacist and District Leader Emerging Leader. He has spearheaded several initiatives that have demonstrated his leadership skills, including seeking opportunities to grow and develop talent, promoting local school enrollment for pharmacists and technicians and taking on multiple stretch assignments to consistently support patients across his district.

“Federico is a high-energy, trusted colleague who has positively impacted multiple sides of the business – all while putting people first and leading with heart,” said Nestor Gaytan, District Leader for CVS Pharmacy. “He has gone above and beyond his duties to support patients and has taken meaningful time to mentor his colleagues who are growing their careers. He cares for his team, patients and community day in and day out, and 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.
