Pharmacy Expands Same-Day Delivery to 20 More U.S. Cities

By 2025, nearly half of U.S. residents will have access to rapid prescription delivery as Amazon addresses pharmacy deserts.

  • Amazon will integrate new pharmacies into its Same-Day Delivery sites, enhancing its logistics network for faster medication delivery.
  • The expansion aims to solve accessibility issues in 'pharmacy deserts,' where residents are often far from the nearest pharmacy.
  • Customers in cities like Boston, Dallas, and Philadelphia will be able to order medications by 4 p.m. and receive them by 10 p.m.
  • Amazon's digital-first approach includes 24/7 pharmacist access and cost-saving programs like RxPass for Prime members.
  • This initiative is part of Amazon's broader strategy to innovate healthcare delivery and improve patient engagement.
