Amazon plans to bring same-day prescription delivery to 20 more cities next year, the company said Wednesday, marking the latest phase of its push into health care.
As part of the expansion, which will make speedy medicine delivery available in nearly half of the U.S., Amazon said, it is embedding pharmacies in same-day delivery facilities often clustered around major metro areas.
Amazon in March introduced same-day pharmacy delivery in New York and Los Angeles, after launching the service in Indianapolis, Miami, Phoenix, Seattle, and Austin, Texas.
Launched in 2020, Amazon Pharmacy was born out of the company's 2018 acquisition of online pharmacy PillPack.
It launched then shuttered its telehealth service, Amazon Care, along with a line of health and wellness devices.
