CNBC: Pager looking to become the 'Amazon of healthcare'

NEW YORK — Telehealth app Pager is looking to become the “Amazon of healthcare.” That’s what co-founder Oscar Salazar told CNBC during a recent interview to discuss telehealth, as well as Hillary Clinton’s statements on the economy and jobs.



“We want to provide high-quality healthcare services to people. That is the bottom line. So, we are thinking about becoming the Amazon for healthcare,” Salazar told CNBC.



As previously reported by Drug Store News, Pager offers an iPhone app that allows users to line up an urgent-care home visit in two hours or less, from a board-certified physician, with fees starting at $199.



“We are becoming this engine to deliver the best care for you,” said Salazar, who helped launch Uber.
