The Health Depot recently launched a direct-to-door delivery program that will distribute prescription medication to customers across Ontario. The direct-to-door delivery program will also prioritize seniors, as well as immune-compromised individuals, in order to protect them from potential exposure to COVID-19.
The Health Depot is a healthcare e-commerce company that sells health products and prescriptions together, and prescription deliveries can be shipped for free. The company also sells Daily Dose Packs that streamline the process for patients who take multiple medications at the same time. The Daily Dose Packs also help seniors who may struggle to manage their medication intake.
The Health Depot was initially founded in 2019 by Andy Donald to streamline the prescription process. Donald also released a statement about the direct-to-door delivery service, "The core of what we do as an organization is to help individuals become, and stay healthy. Our online pharmacy and health store with direct-to-door delivery makes this easy for individuals, especially those that need it most."
