CVS Health is partnering with a major rideshare platform as part of its new “Health Zones” program.
The pharmacy giant is collaborating with Uber Health, the healthcare arm of Uber, to provide critical transportation support at no cost to underserved people seeking access to medical care, work or educational programs. The relationship is part of Health Zones, a new CVS initiative that provides concentrated local investments designed to reduce health disparities and advance health equity in high-risk communities.
Rides with Uber Health to receive medical care, to get to work or to job training will be available to a target population living in three of the five Health Zones: Atlanta; Columbus, Ohio; and Hartford, Conn., with plans to enter additional cities later this year.
