Cvs Apologizes To Transgender Woman For Prescription Denial

PHOENIX (AP) — Drugstore chain CVS is apologizing to an Arizona transgender woman who says she was denied a hormone prescription by a pharmacist. The company apologized on social media Friday saying the pharmacist is no longer an employee. CVS says it has a history of supporting LGBTQ rights, helping to develop a guide for pharmacy care for gay, lesbian and transgender customers. The apology comes after Hilde Hall shared her experience on the American Civil Liberties Union's website.

CVS says the lack of response was an unintentional oversight. Hall says she hopes CVS will make non-discrimination policies more public. Read more on NewsOK.com
