Joslin partners with Walgreens

Joslin Diabetes Center, a Boston research and treatment facility, has formed a partnership with Deerfield, Ill.-based pharmacy chain Walgreens that will see the two collaborate on diabetes education programs for pharmacists and consumers.

The agreement calls for Joslin, a Harvard-affiliated, nonprofit center, to develop training programs to teach druggists working in Walgreens locations how to better deal with diabetics using their services. The center will also design diabetes education programs for Walgreens customers.

As a part of the deal Walgreens will build a new specialty pharmacy on the Joslin campus.
