Intermountain Healthcare has launched a drone delivery service for its patients in the Salt Lake Valley through a partnership with Zipline.
The provider will transport prescriptions and over-the-counter medications to patients’ homes via Zipline’s electric, autonomous aircrafts, eventually servicing more than one million patients.
It will be the first health system west of the Mississippi to use Zipline, and will start off by delivering to communities within a few miles of the Zipline distribution center in the Salt Lake and Utah counties.
It plans to add new distribution centers, households, and community drop-off locations over time and deliver to approximately 90% of patient homes in the Salt Lake Valley area in the next five years.
