Kroger Health, the healthcare arm of The Kroger Co., is one of America’s leading community healthcare organizations, serving over 13 million customers annually through more than 2,300 pharmacies, 11 specialty pharmacies, and 200 clinics. Our team of 22,000 healthcare professionals—including pharmacists, nurse practitioners, dietitians, and technicians—is committed to delivering accessible, high-quality care across 20 banners such as Fry’s, Ralphs, Smith’s, and Fred Meyer.
In the Little Rock Kroger Marketing Area, we are redefining the role of the community pharmacist. Our pharmacies are designed with innovation in mind, featuring private counseling rooms to enhance pharmacist-patient communication and support services such as immunizations, medication therapy management (MTM), health screenings, transitions of care, OTC counseling, and oral contraception prescribing.
As healthcare shifts toward value-based care and pay-for-performance models, Kroger Health is leading the way. Our residency is designed for pharmacists who are ready to be at the forefront of this transformation.
