Uber Health launches prescription delivery service

Uber Health, the ride share company's medical transportation arm, just launched a prescription delivery service. Uber has partnered with NimbleRx, which says it has seen a spike in on-demand prescription-drug delivery requests as people have been unable to get to pharmacies during the pandemic. For now, the new service is being offered only in Seattle and Dallas, but Uber said that it has plans to expand in the coming months. Uber Health launched in 2018 and has primarily transported patients to and from appointments in hospitals and clinics. But during the pandemic, it began also offering first responders a way to get to work.
