In another health bet, Amazon expands virtual care program for employees

Amazon Care, a virtual health service that allows users to download an app to then text or video-call with a health care practitioner, has now been rolled out to all of Amazon's employees in Washington state. The service was thus far in a pilot phase. In addition to digitally connecting with providers, Amazon Care's app also allows users to refill prescriptions online that are then delivered by the tech giant's courier service. Providers from Care Medical, the private practice providing the medical services as part of Amazon Care, can also be dispatched to patients' homes to conduct in-person exams and some treatments.
