KANNAPOLIS, N.C. – Cardinal Health, along with Magellan Rx Management and Novant Health, has launched long-range drone deliveries in North Carolina. Using Zipline, a logistics company, organizations and their customers can receive deliveries in as little as 15 minutes. “At Cardinal Health, we’re committed to working diligently to help ensure our health care provider customers have access to the right medication at the right time for their patients, and an effective distribution strategy is required to make this happen,” said Josh Dolan, senior vice president, pharmaceutical operations at Cardinal Health. “Through our work with Zipline, we are able to expand our world class distribution services with innovative delivery methods that will help our customers meet their patients' evolving needs – now and in the future.” The North Carolina Zipline distribution center is capable of serving customers within a 7,800-square-mile area. Cardinal Health, a distributor of pharmaceuticals, medical and laboratory products, is delivering certain pharmaceutical products and medical supplies to Cannon Pharmacy Main to help mitigate risk of inventory stock-outs and reduce barriers for patients accessing the necessary products to fit their needs.
