- Actor Profile:
Deborah Russel, Manager of Outreach and Employee Services; Walgreens
Able Lives: IncorporatedDeborah Russel is part of the corporate team at Walgreens. She speaks
plainly about the companies goals of hiring 30% people with disabilites
for their distribution facility in Windsor Connecticut. Walgreens is
doing a wonderful thing but this facility is not a charity site:
Walgreens' other facility in South Carolina has 42% workers with
disabilites and has been profitable and highly productive. Walgreens
has the same goals for Connecticut, and is showing other large
corporations that hiring people with disabilities is good for the
bottom line.
