CHARLOTTE — Magellan RX, Novant Health, and Cardinal Health will be delivering prescription medications out of a Kannapolis facility later this year.
The providers have partnered with Zipline, a national drone delivery program, and plan to send medications to patients who require specialty drugs and suffer from chronic conditions. These patients could now be receiving their medications at their doorstep within a 15 to 30 minute window.
In the video at the top of this webpage, reporter Gina Esposito talks to the CEO of Magellan RX and a representative for Zipline on how medication will be packaged and what neighbors can expect once the drones take to the sky.
