DEERFIELD, IL — The next time you're not feeling well, but can't get out of bed to head to the pharmacy, Walgreens is hoping you'll decide to have its products delivered to you through Uber. The Deerfield-based company announced Tuesday it has expanded its collaboration with Uber to offer products directly on the Uber Eats platform to customers across the United States.

Customers can have health and wellness, beauty and personal care, household essentials, over-the-counter medications, and more, from Walgreens delivered through Uber, according to a news release.

“Walgreens provides our customers with seamless health and well-being experiences, and offering them convenient delivery solutions on whichever platform they prefer to shop is key,” said Stefanie Kruse, vice president, digital commerce and omnichannel at Walgreens, in the news release. “Our collaboration with Uber for on-demand delivery through both Walgreens and Uber’s channels, as well as integrated vaccine scheduling, gives customers simple and easy ways to put their health and well-being needs at the forefront – which will continue to be important to them as we emerge from the pandemic.”
