Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks enable patients to pick up their medications within minutes of their appointment

Amazon Pharmacy  has announced the launch of Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks, an new service that allows patients to pick up prescriptions within minutes of their medical appointment. Beginning December 2025, kiosks will be available at select One Medical offices across the greater Los Angeles area, including Downtown LA, West LA, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, and West Hollywood. Amazon Pharmacy Kiosk expansion to additional One Medical offices and other locations will follow.Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks at One Medical offices are designed to help patients pick up their medications within minutes of their medical appointment.Each year in the U.S., nearly one-third of prescriptions are never filled—a problem compounded by widespread access challenges. One in four neighborhoods are considered pharmacy deserts, leaving millions without convenient medication access. Even when patients do make it to the pharmacy, only half say their prescriptions are filled quickly, according to J.D. Power. These barriers add up to delayed treatments, missed doses, and preventable healthcare costs.Amazon Pharmacy Kiosks are designed to close this gap—making it possible for patients to pick up their medications within minutes of their appointment, right where they receive care. The service brings the pharmacist to the patient—delivering the same trusted clinical service they would expect at a pharmacy counter, but on the patient’s own terms and without the wait.“We know that when patients have to make a separate stop after seeing their doctor, many prescriptions never get filled,” said Hannah McClellan, Vice President of Operations, Amazon Pharmacy. “By bringing the pharmacy directly to the point of care, we’re removing a critical barrier and helping patients start their treatment when it matters most—right away.”Patients who have their prescriptions sent to Amazon Pharmacy can choose to pick up from the in-office kiosk when they place their order in the Amazon app. After placing their order, their medication is ready for pickup within minutes—with no separate trip to the pharmacy required. For added support, patients can connect with an Amazon Pharmacy licensed pharmacist via secure video or phone consultation.“As clinicians, we see firsthand how delays in starting medication can impact treatment outcomes,” said Dr. Andrew Diamond, Chief Medical Officer at One Medical. “The ability to know a patient is leaving our office with their medication in hand—especially for conditions requiring immediate treatment like infections—can make a meaningful difference in their care journey.” Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Post&Parcel Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Post&Parcel
