On January 15, 2026, Kroger Health announced that over 250,000 high school and middle school students have now completed its Prescription Drug Safety: Know the truth curriculum. This marks a nearly 370-fold increase from the approximately 700 students reached in the 2017–18 academic year to nearly 65,000 participants in 2024–25. Since partnering with Everfi in 2018, the program has been offered at no cost to schools, reflecting Kroger Health’s commitment to community engagement and raising awareness of safe medication practices among youth.

Kroger Health’s collaboration with Everfi leverages digital and offline resources to deliver essential life-skills education. Everfi CEO Ray Martinez highlighted that this joint effort has expanded Kroger Health’s educational footprint in more than 2,200 pharmacies across 35 states and through Everfi’s network in thousands of schools. By integrating the curriculum into Everfi’s platform used by hundreds of organizations, Kroger Health has built a scalable model for ongoing student engagement and measurable outcomes in prescription drug safety.

This milestone underscores Kroger Health’s broader strategy to position its pharmacy network and The Little Clinic as community health anchors. With more than 17 million annual patients served by 23,000 healthcare practitioners and over 220 in-person clinics, enhanced brand reputation from educational initiatives can translate into increased prescription volumes and clinic visits. Investors should note that reinforcing Kroger’s Purpose to Feed the Human Spirit™ through public health programs may lead to improved patient loyalty, cross-selling opportunities in grocery and pharmacy, and potential long-term revenue growth.
