Amazon launches virtual health clinic for Seattle employees

Amazon.com Inc. has launched a virtual health clinic Amazon Care for employees and their families residing in Seattle, CNBC reported Sept. 24.

The e-commerce giant announced the program on the Amazon.care website, which says "Amazon Care is a benefit being piloted for Amazon employees and their families in the Seattle area."

The pilot program offers employees a combination of telemedicine and home visits along with an option to talk to a healthcare provider via a mobile app or website, according to the Amazon.care website.

The virtual clinic will also ensure delivery of prescribed medicine to the employees or provide an option to pick them from a preferred pharmacy, according to the company.

Amazon is working with Oasis Medical to provide the telemedicine service to its employees.

"Amazon Care eliminates travel and wait time, connecting employees and their family members to a physician or nurse practitioner through live chat or video, with the option for in-person follow up services from a registered nurse ranging from immunizations to instant strep throat detection," the CNBC report added, citing a company spokesperson.
