Amazon has announced its newest expansion to its Amazon Care services. As part of this expansion, Amazon Care services are now available across the United States. This service combines on-demand digital healthcare with in-person healthcare to deliver a range of necessary services to patients while alleviating some strain on traditional doctor's offices.
Amazon Care partners with a large number of healthcare practitioners across the country to deliver at-home services when required. This includes chronic care management, primary care, and several other care services. For critical healthcare, patients should attend hospitals as these conditions cannot be managed virtually or at home.
Virtual healthcare services have grown throughout the pandemic due to the crowded medical institutions and increasing demand for individuals to perform tasks virtually. Due to this, Amazon Care has become a popular healthcare option for many patients, leading to these patients building strong relationships with their Amazon Care practitioners.
