Amazon on Wednesday announced plans to dive into the health care industry by expanding its telemedicine program into a service available to other employers nationwide.
The program, called Amazon Care, began as a pilot project two years ago to provide urgent care visits to Amazon employees in Washington state.
Now, Amazon said it will begin expanding the telemedicine app to interested Washington state employers, and to all Amazon workers and other private employers nationally by this summer.

According to a blog post announcing the expansion, the app connects people virtually with doctors, nurses and other medical professionals for over-the-phone treatment 24 hours a day, with an average wait time of less than 60 seconds.
