Walgreens has entered into agreement with DaVita to purchase its non-dialysis related prescription files, mostly under Medicare Part D. Currently, DaVita uses a drug distribution facility in Orlando for dispensing by mail non-dialysis medications. The deal with Walgreens is scheduled to finalize in late September, at which time the files of the facility will be transferred to Walgreens. DaVita plans to close the facility in Orlando as soon as the transition takes place, laying off about 109 of its employees.
