SUN PRAIRIE, Wisc. – Uber, through its on-demand delivery service Uber Direct, has partnered with iCare+, a leading digital healthcare solutions provider, to revolutionize prescription delivery for Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) members. This collaboration aims to deliver fast, reliable, and seamless medication while expanding patient supplement benefits.

Through this partnership, IPC pharmacies using iCare+ digital healthcare services will now have access to Uber Direct’s robust delivery network. Integrated within iCare+’s pharmacist healthcare portal, this service enables patients to receive medications securely and efficiently at their doorstep. The initiative is designed to support independent pharmacies by enhancing same-day and on-demand delivery options, reducing medication delays, and improving patient adherence.

"Our goal is to provide our over 2000+ independent pharmacies participating in iCare+ with innovative, future-ready tools to compete in an evolving healthcare landscape," said Ashton Maaraba, President, IPC Digital Health. "By integrating Uber Direct's trusted delivery network, we are empowering pharmacies to offer a level of extended convenience that was once only available through large chains."

Beyond prescription delivery, the partnership will also enhance access to wellness products. IPC pharmacies can now offer a broader range of over-the-counter supplements for delivery, ensuring patients receive comprehensive care when needed.

"This partnership with iCare+ enables IPC pharmacy members to meet patients where they are, flexibility and convenience they deserve," said Kiran Vinta, General Manager, Uber Direct, US & Canada.
